Christine and the Queens

Christine and the Queens is the project of the French synth-pop auteur Héloïse Letissier. Her bold, empowering, and danceable 2014 debut Chaleur Humaine, which features a collaboration with Perfume Genius, has been repackaged as a self-titled debut for her introduction to the American market.

At face value, this is joyously immediate pop music. Dig a little deeper, and there’s endless facets.
