Christine And The Queens has announced a new album.
The follow-up to 2022's 'Redcar les Adorables Étoiles (Prologue)' is called 'Paranoïa, Angels, True Love' and will arrive on June 9 via Because Music.
Produced by Mike Dean, the three-disc project boasts guest spots from Madonna and 070 Shake, and is previewed by the slow-burning single To Be Honest, which comes paired with a video shot by Chris, who said:
"This new record is the second part of an operatic gesture that also encompassed 2022’s 'Redcar les adorables étoiles'. Taking inspiration from the glorious dramaturgy of Tony Kushner’s iconic play, Angels in America, Redcar felt colourful and absurd like Prior sent to his insane dream-space.
"The follow-up 'Paranoïa, Angels, True Love' is a key towards heart-opening transformation, a prayer towards the self—the one that breathes through all the loves it is made of. Prior’s real agony in Angels in America is a deep, painful becoming, a shedding of all waters and memories, that then allows angels to immerse deep too, and offer back profound, narrative-altering love—a rest in true love."
Meanwhile, Chris is set to headline BBC Radio 6 Music Festival in Manchester later in March. He will also curate the 2023 Meltdown Festival in London, which will run between June 9 and 18, alongside appearances at other festivals in the UK, Europe and the US.
