Roan promoted the album by headlining The Midwest Princess Tour in 2023 and 2024, along with appearances on NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concerts , The Late Show with Stephen Colbert , and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . [6]

Background and recording

Roan was signed to Atlantic Records and living in Los Angeles by 2017, when she released the EP School Nights, a "folk-leaning" project. [7] In 2018, Roan started working with producer Dan Nigro, eventually releasing the singles "Pink Pony Club" and "Love Me Anyway" in April and May 2020, respectively. [6] [8] She released "California" that August, and was dropped by Atlantic Records shortly after. [6] "Pink Pony Club" and "California" were both ultimately included on The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Roan moved back to her home state of Missouri where she worked to save money to move back to Los Angeles, at which point she resumed working with Nigro. In 2023, to support Roan's career and projects, Nigro launched the Island Records imprint Amusement, and signed her to the imprint as the first (and as of 2024, only) artist on the label. [9] [10] The album is inspired by Roan's experience leaving her hometown in Missouri for Los Angeles to pursue a career as a singer. During her journey of self-discovery, Roan navigated love, heartbreak, and embraced her sexual identity – themes that would become central to the record. [11] Roan has stated that The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess allowed her to "come to accept [her] queerness". [12]

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess received critical acclaim upon release. [24] [25] According to the review aggregator Metacritic, the album received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 85 out of 100 from 7 critic scores. Olivia Horn of Pitchfork called the album "a bold and uproarious introduction, buoyed by sturdy songcraft and steely indifference to good taste", also writing that Roan is "blessed with a powerful and versatile voice". [23] Otis Robinson of DIY summarized it as "thoughtful, a little unhinged and entirely contradictory, merging the alt-pop seriousness of Lana Del Rey with the untethered preppy charm of Lorde to go full throttle into messy, emotional fun". [17]

NME 's Hannah Mylrea dubbed it a "bratty, wacky record of huge pop bangers" as well as an "album that combines Roan's electrifying pop stylings with her funny, irresistible songwriting". [21] Sam Franzini of The Line of Best Fit opined that Roan "is a blazing tour-de-force on her debut album. She tackles every corner of human sexuality, psychology, desire, and lust, all on some of the hookiest choruses of this year". [20] Robert Moran of The Sydney Morning Herald described it as "pop at its most fun and life-affirming". [26] LA Times called it "one of the year’s most exuberant dance-pop albums. [27] It was also described by Attitude the album as electro, [28] and Clash described the tracks as alt-pop. [29]

Commercial performance

Although not an immediate commercial success, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess garnered a cult following in the months after its release and became regarded as a "sleeper hit" by early 2024. The album's commercial breakthrough was largely influenced by Roan's supporting act on Olivia Rodrigo's Guts World Tour, her performances at music festivals like Coachella and Governors Ball, and the success of her follow-up single, "Good Luck, Babe!". By June 2024, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess had climbed the charts, peaking at number one in Ireland, New Zealand and the UK, plus within the top five of the US Billboard 200. Subsequently, several of its singles ("My Kink Is Karma", "Femininomenon", "Casual", "Pink Pony Club", "Red Wine Supernova", and "Hot to Go!") entered the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since their release.
