Christine And The Queens Announce New Album ‘PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE’

Christine and The Queens will release new album ‘PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE’ on June 9th.

The French star – real name Héloïse Letissier – won international acclaim with two fantastic albums, before adopting the Redcar moniker for a full length project in 2022. The release was followed by some remarkable live shows, including a surrealistic, cathartic evening at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

Now Christine & The Queens has confirmed plans for a new album, with co-production by Mike Dean (Lana Del Rey, Beyonce) and guest appearances from 070 Shake and Madonna.

Chris explains… 

“This new record is the second part of an operatic gesture that also encompassed 2022’s Redcar les adorables étoiles. Taking inspiration from the glorious dramaturgy of Tony Kushner’s iconic play, Angels in America, Redcar felt colourful and absurd like Prior sent to his insane dream-space. The follow-up PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE is a key towards heart-opening transformation, a prayer towards the self – the one that breathes through all the loves it is made of. Prior’s real agony in Angels in America is a deep, painful becoming, a shedding of all waters and memories, that then allows angels to immerse deep too, and offer back profound, narrative-altering love – a rest in true love.” 

Alongside the announce, Christine & The Queens will headline the 6Music Festival in Manchester.

New single ‘To be honest’ is out now, a breathy synth-driven soundscape accompanied by a meditative clip directed by Chris himself. Shot on the English coast, you can watch it below.
