Professor of Film and Screen Studies Catherine Zimmer, PhD, authored an article in Avidly (a channel of the LA Review of Books) titled 鈥溾 in which she discussed the 鈥減henomenon鈥 of the singer-songwriter, which includes, among other things, 鈥渁n earnest and passionate longing for the analog,鈥 something Zimmer feels the artist herself embodies.
In Zimmer鈥檚 view, Roan鈥檚 work is not necessarily about acoustic instrumentation, and it goes beyond nostalgia. It is 鈥渋nhabitable鈥 and 鈥渞elational.鈥
She said, 鈥淎nalog, in this instance, signals a certain type of materiality and presence. But the self-evidence of the analog includes constant reference to itself within history, within culture, within what phenomenology鈥攁 field of philosophy most simply defined by the notion that existence is always situated and relational鈥攚ould call a 鈥榣ifeworld.鈥
The 'phenomenon' of Chappell Roan is one that should be recognized as such because she embodies her own talent so well at the same time that it is clear that she is a canvas for performative transformation, cultural interaction, and productive, communal spectatorship.鈥
