The queen of French pop
Christine and the Queens is an electro pop act created by Nantes-born Héloïse Letissier. Originally into theatre, the young French woman had a moment of doubt and came to London to think things over. She’s not the first or last to do this but in her case the outcome was quite extraordinary. Inspired by the drag queens she met on nights out in the city, she got the idea to reinvent herself as a solo singer backed by a fictional group of queens. London freed her up as an artist and back in France, she is now on her way to making it big.
I like! J’aime!
Her style is quirky and sincere, she has a great voice and sings both in English and French. Her debut album Chaleur Humaine will be out in two days, in the meantime here is her latest ballad: Nuit 17 à 52 with French and English lyrics. And an interview given to Le Monde last year. Enjoy!

Chorus:
Je crois que le nombre lutte contre l’oubli: I think that numbers fight oblivion
Et je hais déjà la triste nuit 53: And I already hate the sad night 53
