Christine and the Queens releases the new single “Rendez-vous avec toi“ / “Rendez-vous in your arms,” in French and English.
The single is accompanied by a dance-based music video, choreographed by Alexander Ekman and shot in Paris.
The single opens a cosmic, sensory new era, announced with a series of sold out intimate shows in Paris, London, Amsterdam and Brussels. Performed with a full band, these shows will feature cult classics and unreleased songs, preparing audiences for a full-scale return. Tickets to all shows are sold out.
“The shows with my audience are the highlights of my life,” Chris said. “My musicians, Vincent Taeger, Vincent Taurelle, Adrian Edeline and Karl Onibuje, and I knew we had to reunite with our audience before anything else, in more intimate venues, for a true moment of music played live, felt and shared. We will revisit a repertoire that made us grow together, and give a first listen to unreleased songs from the next album. We revisit, we reinterpret, we remember, and we transcend.”
“Rendezvous ave to” is the first taste of an upcoming album by Christine and the Queens, to be released next spring. It rides an uptempo, organic disco groove.
Christine and the Queens adds:
I have a rendez-vous with you, tonight
I have obsessed about it since the morning
With the devotion of someone who only waits for you, and the meaning you give to life itself by your mere presence
I’ll come starred with music – the new interstellar traveling of Christine and the Queens, I did it for you. In secrecy of frequencies, in genius musicians, in New York Jazz, in Moroder Groove, I kept on obsessing about this celebration, this big night found again, and I leapt into my dream. Names, boxes, they never defined what we share together. The electricity remains eternally mysterious. We’ll dream together of the blue flower, of this signal that keeps pinging from another planet that we don’t even know of yet; we’ll dream peace, peace with a common story, one way bigger than the one they taught us.
