Short info:
Christine and the Queens, it started with 3 eps : “Miséricorde”, “Mac abbey” and the last one which released on Because Music, “Nuit 17 à 52”. From a high position in the cqFd contest of les inrocks magazine, it warmed up gigs, alone on stage with the computer, before opening concert for The Do and recently Stromae. It’s a graceful performance at the Victoires de La Musique where she was nominated in the live newcomer category. It’s also a girl who dives as soon as possible in her own album. She has written thirty tracks but only eleven will make the final cut. Then she goes back to London and locks herself with the one who’s going to produce the album with her, Ash Workman (Metronomy), and two multi-instrumentalists brothers (Michael Lovett and Gabriel Stebbing). Christine knows exactly what she wants (“Less is More”); some powerful minimalism; an economy of instruments and tracks; infectious grooves, the organic obviousness of vocals, the quest for contemporary colours and inspired strengthening strings. the result is “Chaleur Humaine”, a portrait of Christine and her queer sisters. This means : far from corsets and boxes. It’s a tribute to the unpredictable, to random encounters, to the invention of oneself and the body (that should always survive youth!). An album almost totally in French but with a few subtle curves towards english and also a very surprising cover: “Les paradis Perdus” de Christophe.
Obviously, Christine will soon go out and appear live. no fright at all: it’s her ultimate refuge where she exists and lives to the full. and then again, some other lighthouses: Pina Bausch, Bob Fosse, Chaz Buzan, and Maggy Marin… she prepares for the stage like an athlete. Because live music is a performance. a pop and freaky show where music, theatre, dance and video will blend and reflect the personality of this heroine who just came to life.
