CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS

LIVE FROM CAPITOL STUDIOS: “GIRLFRIEND”, “5 DOLLARS” AND “DOESN’T MATTER”

CHRIS MADE IT ON TO NEARLY EVERY “BEST OF 2018” LIST

TIME, DAZED AND MOJO NAMED “GIRLFRIEND” #1 SONG OF THE YEAR

CHRIS RETURNS TO AMERICA TO PERFORM AT COACHELLA

This week, Christine and the Queens continues to relentlessly stride into 2019 by offering up the next three songs from the Capitol Records Studios session, exclusively for YouTube: “Girlfriend”, “5 dollars” and “Doesn’t Matter” after revealing “Comme si” last week. Rolling Stone portrayed "Comme si": “The dancers added dramatic flare to the synth-laden, new-wave song as singer Christine showed off her own moves in a spotlight and deceptively sings, “Focus on my voice and let go” (as if you could focus on anything but the dancing).”

Christine and the Queens landed her groundbreaking album Chris and multiple singles, "Girlfriend", “Doesn't matter", "5 dollars" on to nearly every “Best of 2018” list: Time Magazine, NPR, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, GQ, Associated Press, Noisey, FADER, Esquire, Refinery29, CoS, The Daily Beast, etc, plus named #1 album of the year by not only The Guardian and Evening Standard, but also The Independent and Clash.

Only last month, she released her brilliant Spotify Singles session, recorded at RAK Studios in London in September 2018. Chris performed a live version of “The walker,” as well as debuting a defining cover of Sade’s iconic 1992 hit single “No Ordinary Love” for the first time.

These releases capped an incredible year for the French artist, coming after the end of her critically acclaimed sold out Chris world tour, including two nights at Brooklyn Steel, two nights at London’s venue Eventim Apollo and ended with two incredible nights at the 18,000-capacity AccorHotels Arena in Paris to rave live reviews. Last October, Chris delivered a head-turning performance of “Comme si” at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and last June saw a live performance “Girlfriend” with Dâm-Funk and The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

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 (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. Chris is available in English and French language versions, in digital and physical formats, including double CD and vinyl versions, as well as limited edition boxsets, courtesy of Because Music.

“Chris” is hard-nosed and irrepressible, a coiled spring unbound" - New York Times

“an electric blend of unforgettable imagery, emotional depth, and lurid, sizzling pop-funk” 7.9 - Pitchfork

“playing both producer and performer, visual fetishist and object of desire, throttles the brain and disrupts easy categorizing of all kinds. Chris is overwhelming, in the best possible way” - NPR

"...her stuttering vocal cadence recalls the very best of Michael Jackson" - PAPER Magazine

“No other musician out there is presenting their intention so completely, so idiosyncratically, and so beautifully” - #4 live artist of 2018 - Consequence of Sound
