THE LINE OF BEST FIT – 9/10
Q MAGAZINE – ★★★★
MOJO ★★★★
UNCUT – 8/10
“pop music that truly matters” – THE GUARDIAN ★★★★★
“A perfect pop record” – THE INDEPENDENT ★★★★★
“One of the best and most life-affirming [albums] of the year.” – SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE“a subversive pop masterpiece – that somehow sounds effortless, too”– NME ★★★★★
“The most subversive, game-changing pop star we have” – DIY ★★★★★
“it’s an absolute show-stopper” – PILERATS
“One of the best new tracks I’ve heard this week”– RICHARD KINGSMILL ON TRIPLE J
“Blood Orange meets Haim. It’s REALLY nice.”– TRIPLE J MORNINGS WITH LINDA MARIGLIANO
“Chris isn’t so much a return to form as an explosion of it – a more assured, more confident, more infectious concoction from a low-key je ne sais quoi superstar… Chris is a dazzling pop record that’s smarter than such a tag usually suggests”– RUSSH MAGAZINE
“In a world saturated with quality synthpop, no one’s doing quite as well as French artist Christine & the Queens. ‘Doesn’t matter’ is an example of how Christine is able to strike that perfect balance between slick and catchy pop goodness and emotional levity.” – DOUBLE J ON DOESN’T MATTER
“This sounds like absolutely nothing else around right now and goddamn it’s just so fresh.” – THE INTERNS
“killer chorry, hooks galore …. Christine and the Queens has put out one of the videos of the year”– MIKEY CAHIL, HERALD SUN
“One of music’s most bold and dynamic. It’s captivating, tall-standing and really quite enchanting.”– PILERATS
“Letissier’s delivery is poised and powerful. She rises out of the depths of the infectious production and settles on top of the clouds – where she belongs, a new pop god amongst us.” – I OH YOU
“The production teems with sex, aping Prince and Janet Jackson on a paddy groove that wisely isn’t interrupted. “– BEAT MAGAZINE

Christine and The Queens today releases her already highly acclaimed second album, Chris. Featuring the singles ‘Girlfriend’ and ‘5 dollars’, and available in English and French language versions, Chris is available in digital and physical formats, including double CD and vinyl versions, as well as limited edition boxsets, courtesy of Because Music / Caroline Australia.
Chris was written, arranged and performed by Christine and the Queens. It is the follow up to her already-iconic debut record Chaleur Humaine, released to near-universal acclaim in France in 2014 and the UK in 2016, and selling more than 1.3 million copies to date.
.
“Chaleur Humaine was about teenage years, most of it. Loneliness, really true feelings, and there is a softness in the way I wrote as well, because I was properly introducing myself.” – CHRISTINE
.
Chris arrives on different terms.
“It gets to be a bit more exhilarating, because I get to say, okay, I’ve been introduced now. I get to be more confident, and it matches what happened in my life as a woman.” – CHRISTINE
.
She says the first record turned her from a reclusive, bookish young woman writing for herself into:
“an athlete performer, which is something I always wanted to live, but it happened. Then suddenly I’m out in the open and I’m having more experiences, meeting people, having relationships, and stories are happening to me. All of a sudden, you’re a real grownass woman. The second album could have been me finding a fancy producer in LA and doing the pop shit,” she laughs, “but actually, no. I wanted to make it even more personal, if it’s possible.” – CHRISTINE
