Christine And The Queens – Chris (2018)

December 13, 2024

I’ll be honest, I got into Christine from the English re-release of Titled, so I’m a total normie when it comes to this stuff. However, I can’t help but think the whole album sounds far more pleasant in its original French, so I massively appreciate the inclusion of the bonus disk in the second language. This record, whatever its tongue, is a sparse, somewhat haunting affair; and I don’t mean in the ethereal, ghostly, fragile pop princesses kind of way. I mean that there is something underneath these otherwise sleek and modern songs that I cannot put my finger on; something nagging from the corners of these contemporary pop numbers. An interesting listen!
