Christine and the Queens, the stage name of French artist Héloïse Létissier, merges evocative electronic pop with the art of dance and theater, creating an immersive experience that challenges and captivates. Born in Nantes, France, in 1988, Christine has skillfully woven the rich influences of icons like David Bowie and Michael Jackson into her dynamic performances that often include multimedia presentations. Her 2014 debut album, Chaleur Humaine, captured the complex emotions of her queer identity during adolescence, featuring hit singles "St. Claude" and "Tilted." This breakthrough set the stage for her critically acclaimed 2018 follow-up, Chris. This project delved into the fluidity of gender and the constraints of stereotypes, all set against a backdrop of ‘80s R&B, confirming her prowess in pushing musical and thematic boundaries.
