An album and a show in September: Christine and the Queens returns with its new identity, Redcar

After Christine and the Queens, Chris, place in Redcar.

Red car, in French.

Third album and third identity for the multiple Héloïse Letissier.

A week after unveiling her new title, "I finally see you", the singer announces it this Wednesday, July 6 on her social networks with supporting photos.

She will release a new album on September 23 entitled “Redcar les adorable étoiles” and will be back on stage at the same time, on September 22 and 23, in Paris at the Cirque d'Hiver, then on the 30th in London at the Royal Festival Hall.

Four years after the confusing "Chris", a year and a half after the very joyful and touching mini-album "La Vita Nuova", unfortunately released a few days before the first confinement, this new album is intended to be mysterious.

We just know that it will last 53 minutes and will contain thirteen titles with intriguing titles, eleven in French - "Ma bien aimee bye bye", "La Chanson du chevalier", "La Clairefontaine" -, and two in English - "Looking For Love” and “My Birdman”.

She composed it entirely, wrote all the lyrics and produced it with Mike Dean, an American sounding star, loyal collaborator of Kanye West and Travis Scott, who has also worked with Madonna, The Weeknd, Swedish House Mafia...

Redcar rolls back to the 1980s

This album was recorded and made largely in the United States, where Christine and the Queens have been spending a lot of time since their second album and have strong popularity.

Judging by its first extract, "I see you finally", Redcar rolls towards the 1980s, between martial pop and new wave.

Since the genre has been very popular lately on both sides of the Atlantic, we hope that the 34-year-old French musician will do something unique with it, combining dance, theater and music.

For several weeks, Christine and the Queens, alias Redcar, has been distiling on her social networks drawer texts and photos of them in tuxedos, their hair slicked back and pulled back.

For several weeks, she has been distilling on her social networks drawer texts and photos of them in tuxedos, hair slicked back and pulled back, with a red glove, which inevitably reminds us of the late Christophe.

This Wednesday, she unveiled the photo that will illustrate her album, where she poses with two androgynous creatures, in a nightclub atmosphere.

"Redcar, a show at the service of poetry", she promises.

Tickets for the two Parisian dates will go on sale on July 21.
