The former project of Rahim C Redcar, Christine and the Queens' poignant, passionate electronic pop thoughtfully questions gender, sexuality, and identity. Like consummate performers such as David Bowie, Laurie Anderson, and Michael Jackson, singer, songwriter, choreographer, and producer Chris often combines atmospheric music with multimedia experiences. He reflected on his turbulent adolescence on 2014's debut album Chaleur Humaine, which announced him as a distinctively open-hearted talent with the singles "Saint Claude" and "Tilted." With 2018's widely acclaimed Chris, a repudiation of gender stereotypes set to '80s R&B sounds, his music reached a pop apex that he followed with ambitious, theatrically inspired works like 2022's fantastical expression of identity Redcar les adorables étoiles (prologue) and 2023's Paranoïa, Angels, True Love. He combined his passion with insistent house beats on 2024's Hopecore, underscoring Redcar's commitment to making listeners think, feel, and move.
