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.

CANDID GOES ONE STEP FURTHER WITH THEIR NEW SINGLE 'NUMBERS GAME'.

 Despite suffering postponements due to COVID-19, the Coventry band seems unstoppable. After getting played for the first time on BBC Radio 1's Introducing Selection , having played for BBC Radio 1 BIG WEEKEND and celebrating the success of ' Pulling away', the band is ready for their new single, 'Numbers Game'. Numbers Game is a statement against music industry's falsehoods and hipocrisy. Everything ends up in a 'numbers game'. The lyrics are full of clear honesty and describe the music game's traps ( 'Surrounded by numbers just to prove your worth' ). Solid, strong energetic and speedy guitars get their typical alt-rock spirit and help to reinforce the message.  Its severity and strength make the track a true assertion , powerful as a battle cry. 'Numbers Game' is a brilliant continuation to 'Pulling Away', but this time in a more confidently way .  defined by the lyrics and Rob Latimer's vocals, which show they are unaf

The 1975 has released  'Notes On A Conditional Form' , the successor of 2018's 'A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships' . Since August, the band has been releasing singles, giving us a taste of the variety of genres that would be on the record: The punk anthem 'People' , which gots Matty Healy singing violently , as a warrior ; The retro-90s-dance track 'Frail State of Mind' , the 2000s pop-rock inspired love story 'Me & You together song' and the country influenced  'The Birthday Party'.  In april, they published 2 singles : Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America (ft. Phoebe Bridgers) showing the 1975 is unafraid of talking about controversial topics (homosexuality and religion) and If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know), their most commercial successful track yet (reaching number 14 on the UK Official Chart). This song gets back the usual topic on the last album, oline relationships, and has got a similar energy to It's Not Liv

Blossoms: In their cool era.

Image
  La banda de Stockport lanzó su quinto álbum de estudio, Gary, hace casi dos semanas . Con su estética naranja y vestimenta oscura, Blossoms dibujaba su dirección estética para este disco. A los singles What Can I Say After I’m Sorry y Perfect M e se une I Like Your look .   Si algo resulta difícil para una banda en su quinto disco es sorprender. Su cuarto álbum, Ribbon around The bomb , les situaba en una atmósfera pop setentera, con alguna de las mejores canciones de boda, pero que también mostraba unas letras reflexivas y existenciales. Sin embargo, I like your look es sorprendente porque Blossoms , más acostumbrados a escribir desde el punto de vista del narrador (the writer ), se vuelven el centro de atención tocando un tema de los más pop de los últimos años: Ser cool , estiloso y que los demás te envidien por eso. Debemos decir que le queda realmente bien este derroche de swag , sobre todo cuando desemboca en una canción tan adictiva y pegadiza.
