21 September 2018 (Toronto, ON) – Christine and The Queens today releases her already highly acclaimed second album, Chris via Because Music/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Featuring the singles “Girlfriend” and “5 dollars”, Chris is available in digital and physical formats, including double CD and vinyl versions, as well as limited edition boxsets, in both English and French language versions.

 

Chris was written, arranged and performed by Christine and The Queens. It is the follow up to her already-iconic debut record Chaleur Humaine, released to near-universal acclaim in France in 2014 and the UK in 2016, and selling more than 1.3 million copies to date.

 

“Chaleur Humaine was about teenage years, most of it,” says Christine. “Loneliness, really true feelings, and there is a softness in the way I wrote as well, because I was properly introducing myself.”

 

Chris arrives on different terms. “It gets to be a bit more exhilarating, because I get to say, okay, I've been introduced now. I get to be more confident, and it matches what happened in my life as a woman.”

 

She says the first record turned her from a reclusive, bookish young woman writing for herself into “an athlete performer, which is something I always wanted to live, but it happened. Then suddenly I'm out in the open and I'm having more experiences, meeting people, having relationships, and stories are happening to me. All of a sudden, you're a real grownass woman.”

 

“The second album could have been me finding a fancy producer in LA and doing the pop shit,” she laughs, “but actually, no. I wanted to make it even more personal, if it’s possible.”

 

Christine and The Queens will perform at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, on November 5 and the Place Bell in Montreal, on November 6. Full list of upcoming tour dates and ticket information available online HERE.
