Christine and The Queens – Chaleur Humaine

04/03/22

Black Vinyl 2022 edition, gatefold sleeve. Huge star in her native France, Christine and the Queens (partially) rerecorded her radiant debut album in English. The language shift has diluted nothing from the LP’s allure. 

« Tilted » & « iT » are the knock-out singles, « Jonathan » & « Paradis Perdus » luscious torch songs & « Here » a multi-lingual climax. 

270 000 albums sold in the UK.
