BEST LIVE PERFORMANCES OF CHRIS CHAPTER- TWO YEARS SINCE CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS RELEASED 'CHRIS'

 Two years ago , Christine and the Queens dropped her second studio album, which we have already reviewed back in July. With a new image, Christine tried to show something has changed from her vulnerable, but also determined debut album, Chaleur Humaine. 

The first single, Girlfriend, had Christine not picking up between a genre, neither musically (she oscillated between funk and synth pop). Dancing got also more theatrical, with a brilliant set design, which developed in a 'must' to understand the album, to complete CHRIS experience. That is why we are going to go over the best performances of Christine while she was touring this second chapter.


1. GLASTONBURY 2019:With this album, she could return to Glastonbury after her 2016 set. This crowd was special to the singer, who had demonstrated its affection during her festival debut . 'Glastonfreaky' she claimed during Girlfriend performance.


2. COACHELLA 2019: Apart from Glastonbury, she toured around the world 's best festivals , like Coachella. Alongside THE1975, Maggie Rogers, Kacey Musgraves she performed and it was full of glow. 

3. THE STEPHEN COLBERT'S SHOW: To promote the album in America , she performed on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She and the dancers ended up dancing around the whole TV set.


4. PRIMAVERA SOUND 2019: She performed live for the first time 'Gone' featuring Charli XCX. The set was very dynamic but everything surrended to Christine's vulnerability while performing Saint Claude. She explained the song story ,'a love letter to that weird kind of beauty'. 


5. APPLE MUSIC LIVE AT SALLE PLEYEL: To complete her documentary for Apple Music , she performed tracks from CHRIS before its release . Great vocals , dancers and a true worthy spectacle.


Christine redefined herself two years ago. Braver than ever , she designed a must-watch show inspired on West Side Story and (inevitably) on Michael Jackson.

RENTRER CHEZ MOI- CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS.

Image
  Chrisitine and The Queens regresa con una nueva canción tras su álbum Paranoia, Angels & True Love y después de publicar en fin de año su excelente versión de Staying Alive de los Bee Gees -con algún verso de Night Fever - que ya interpretó en el Festival de Cannes de 2023.  El nuevo tema viene  por sorpresa y es cantado completamente en francés. Rentrer chez moi parece regresar al pop minimalista y envuelve en su atmósfera reflexiva . Como ya dije en mi reseña de To Be Honest , Christine brilla en sus letras poéticas y existenciales y lo vuelve a hacer aquí, con la sencillez y autenticidad en la expresión del sentimiento por encontrar el amor y el refugio.   Siempre que Christine canta enteramente en francés, suele acompañar un sentimiento -con la excepción de su último disco, donde predomina el inglés- de intimidad, vulnerabilidad y delicadeza , como hizo en Chaleur Humaine , en las baladas de Chris y en   la mágica  Rien Dire .  El existencialismo se enfatiza en el puente

DON’T FORGET ME-MAGGIE ROGERS.

  La semana pasada se publicó el tercer disco de Maggie Rogers, Don’t Forget Me .   Para este tercer trabajo, Maggie abandona las guitarras rockeras, los sintetizadores y los agudos de Surrender para volver a sonidos más acústicos y diurnos. En Don’t Forget Me se deja el sonido nocturno y comprimido de la ciudad por el de banda sonora para los viajes de carretera de primavera-verano . Maggie Rogers se sitúa más próxima al single de 2019 , Love You For a Long Time , cuestionándose sobre el amor verdadero y abandonando la euforia del deseo de Surrender , reducido solamente a Drunk . Las reminiscencias a Kacey Musgraves -muy notables en el banjo de Sick Of Dreaming - en parte se deben al trabajo de Ian Fitchfuk, productor de muchas de las canciones de Golden Hour , también de Ghost de Sigrid , que figura como compositor de ocho de las diez canciones del disco, además de productor. Por otra parte, la primera pista del disco, It Was Coming All Along , recuerda a John Mayer en Love On T

THERAPIE TAXI SPLIT UP AFTER SEVEN YEARS.

 Just a year ago, Therapie taxi dropped their second album, titled 'Cadavre Exquis'. The project was the second chapter to their successful first record, 'Hit Sale'. The song with the same title peaked on number 18 on France singles chart. It featured Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis and the video has more than 70 million views on YouTube. They were shortlisted for a Victoires de la musique award.   Sometimes described as controversial, Therapie taxi explored almost every genre in popular music, from synth pop ('Candide Crush'), to acoustic classic French pop ('La Proue'), trap beats ('BB la nuit'), house music and French hip hop. They managed to have their own public trying out different genres, unafraid to get out of the standards and being in constant  experimentation.   But, luckily, they are releasing an EP before they say goodbye, which is out January the 8th. Merci et Bon voyage (to the members of) Therapie Taxi!
