Since the beginning of his career, Christine and the Queens has taken a number of different paths. Starting in Nantes, he has, in the space of ten years, shaken the whole world. And if we’re talking on a global scale, it’s because Chris has radiated his talent well beyond the borders of France. His first album, Chaleur Humaine, sold over a million copies and single-handedly redefined the contours of pop music in all its forms, especially the freer ones. An artist with a thousand and one facets, Chris frees himself from codes and genres by offering a more intimate music than ever.  Produced by Mike Dean (Lana Del Rey, Beyonce, The Weeknd and others), his next album, PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE, is released on 9 June. Chris describes it as “the key to open-hearted transformation, a prayer for the Self that breathes and comes alive through all the love of which it is composed”.
