Christine and the Queens has released a new single featuring Dâm-Funk.
Girlfriend is the first new material from Héloïse Letissier, who has shortened their original moniker to Chris, since their debut album, 'Chaleur humaine'. Discussing it, they said:
“I initially set out to smash against macho culture and macho men. I became obsessed with this idea of the macho man, and still being a woman. What does it mean if I’m this figure, and I’m a woman? Does it make me an aberration? Is it joyful?"
"I felt I had to address female desire and it’s diversity. How sometimes it’s blacked out or ignored. It’s still something quite suspicious or slightly dirty. I felt like it was important to be more unapologetic about that.”
“There are hints of nights spent having sex and coming back covered in sweat. Like a male figure, the young hero who has love stories, and comes back in the morning and his friends are like: “What happened to you?” I want to be that.”
The French alt-pop singer-songwriter will appear at BBC Music's The Biggest Weekend later this month and also recently announced shows in the UK and Ireland as part of an autumn European tour.
