His realization creates an almost insurmountable dilemma. Christine and the Queens, an artist committed to ecology, wonders how she will be able to reconcile the fact of having to use polluting means of transport, especially air transport, with her eco-responsible positions. In a recent interview with Le Parisien, the artist at the two Victoires de la musique, who prefers to be spoken of today in the masculine, said: "Taking the plane, it's a real problem for me".
Christine and the Queens is a member of the humanitarian organization Global Citizen, which fights poverty, global warming and gender equality. The artist is always ready to put his talents as a singer-songwriter at the service of the causes he defends. So in 2021, Chris (one of his other pseudonyms) performed in Paris with Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat and DJ Snake during a concert that aimed to push heads of state to "work together for the planet.

Chris is not Cold Play
Chris or Redcar, the last of Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier's stage names, knows that it is difficult to remain consistent when it comes to putting your consumer behaviors in symbiosis with your eco-responsible ideals. The artist still thinks he can overcome his constant tensions: "I hope that I am a responsible citizen and not too bad on ecology, I pay attention to water, waste, I read about ecofeminism, but as an artist, to be honest, I take a lot of planes. The band Coldplay can organize their tours, because they are in a much more global system." And Chris does not yet possess the worldwide notoriety of Coldplay still has to submit to the imperatives of promotion: "... But I still have countries where I have to travel to make my music known. I need to go see people. But it's a real problem for me."

Finally, like Adèle Haenel, Christine and the Queens does not seem to hold the liberal system high in its heart. He even believes that he would be responsible for the ills from which the Earth suffers: "We are in a society totally subservient to capital. The average citizen is always asked to act. At our small level, we can fight, invest with associations that touch us, make donations, pay attention to the tap. We are very aware of a certain ecological guilt, but sorry, we should also talk about all the decisions that are taken on a large scale and involve so much industrialization that ravages the planet, decimates the planet, devastates the sea. So many decisions should be less hypocritical, less tied to capital and industries..." Meanwhile Christine and the Queens has just released a new album where we can also hear Madonna. It is titled as follows: Paranoia, Angels, True Love... quite a program.
