Today, Christine and The Queens releases her brilliant Spotify Singles session, recorded at Rak Studios in London in September 2018.

Chris was written, arranged, produced and performed by Christine and the Queens. It is the follow up to her already-iconic debut record Chaleur Humaine (called Christine and the Queens in USA), released to near-universal acclaim in France in 2014 and the UK in 2016, and selling more than 1.3 million copies to date. Also 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.
The album and its singles have gained further critical acclaim across many early end of year lists: “Girlfriend” was named as Time Magazine’s #1 song of the year, and Chris The Independent’s #1 album of 2018, while also featuring in the top 10 of MOJO, Consequence of Sound, as well as being prominently placed on lists by NPR (#21 album of the year) The Line of Best Fit and Rough Trade.
Christine and the Queens recently released the video for “The walker” which was directed by Colin Solal Cardo, who previously directed the videos for “5 dollars” and “Doesn’t matter”. “It is about the audacity of someone wounded. By exposing the wounds you can hurl yourself against violence before you are killed by it,” said Chris of “The walker” during her YouTube In Conversation event with Solal Cardo.
