Biografie van de kunstenaar Christine And The Queens

Christine And The Queens Is The Musical Project Of French Singer-Songwriter Born Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier And Subsequently Known Variously As Chris And Redcar. Letissier Released His Debut Full-Length Album As Christine And The Queens Chaleur Humaine In 2014. An English Language Version Of The Album Titled Christine And The Queens Was Released In 2016. Sophomore Album Chris Was Released In September 2018 To Universal Acclaim. Letissier Has Used Numerous Personal And Stage Names And Remarked That He "just Ha Many Names For All The Layers". He Began His Career As Christine And The Queens. For His Second Studio Album He Shortened It To Chris Which Was Accompanied By A Shift To A Persona Described As "a Woman Playing With Masculine Tropes". In October 2021 He Was Using The Name Rahim. This Sparked A Debate Around Cultural Appropriation Due To The Name's Arabic Origin. He Eventually Began Using A Succession Of Different Names Such As Sam Le Pompier The French Title Of Fireman Sam And A Full Stop Before Settling On Redcar Sometimes Shortened As Red. In August 2022 He Updated His Pronouns To He/him Across Social Media Platforms. In 2023 With The Release Of Fourth Album Paranoïa Angels True Love He Seemed To Have Reverted To Simply Chris. However He Still Occasionally Uses His Birth Name About Which He Said "Héloïse Letissier Is My Parents' Provenance And I Love My Parents. I Sometimes Use Héloïse To Reconnect Me To My Childhood But My Inner Child Name Is Manamané."

According To Héloïse Letissier When He First Wrote The Song It Was Written In English. It Was Originally Recorded Under The Title "Cripple" For An EP Mac Abbey In 2012. However When He Performed The Song In Brighton In May 2013 The Chorus "I Actually Do Enjoy Being A Cripple" Was Poorly Received By The Audience. Letissier Said "... There Was A Huge Embarrassed Silence. I Thought It Was Really Ambiguous! But It's Not." He Reworked The Lyrics In French As "Christine" For His 2014 Debut Album And From This He Made Another English Version "Tilted". The English And French Versions Are Not An Exact Translation And Have Significant Differences In Their Lyrics For Example The English Version Begins With "I Will Die Before Methuselah / So I'll Fight Sleep With Ammonia " While The French Version May Be Translated As "I Start Books At The End / And I Hold My Head High For Nothing " Je Commence Les Livres Par La Fin / Et J'ai Le Menton Haut Pour Un Rien . Letissier Said That The Song Is "an Easy Song With An Uneasy Subject. It's About Feeling Out Of Place Not Finding Your Balance Or Being Depressed Even But With Playful Images With A Song You Can Dance On." He Explained That The Song Is About "embracing The Fact That You Can't Really Find Your Balance" Which In His Case Is Embracing His Own Awkwardness And The Feeling Of Being Imperfect. It Would Therefore Be About "embracing Who You Are" And "being Proud Of Who You Are And Where You Stand". He Also Explained The English Title Of The Song "The French Song Is Talking About The Same Difficulty Of Turning On Your Feet. I Was Searching For Lots Of Images Or Words That Could Fit And I Just Stumbled Upon This Word To Tilt Or Be Tilted And I Was Exactly Trying To Find This Image. It's Literally Talking About Not Finding Your Balance With A Playful Image."
