Christine and The Queens releases new single ‘Saint Claude’

Christine and The Queens’ next single is set to be ‘Saint Claude’. As she frequently tells audiences during shows, it’s a song dedicated to the world’s non-conforming misfits - one in particular.

“This one is for a fabulous young boy who was too different to be accepted. I saw him in the streets of Paris, he was mocked upon, because he looked really different,” Héloïse Letissier told her crowd at Glastonbury, introducing the song. “I did nothing, I felt like a coward, and I decided to write him a love letter afterwards, because to me, that boy was really beautiful. I never knew his name - because I didn’t do anything - so I decided to give him one. I decided to call myself Christine whenever I’m on stage to feel a bit bolder, and I decided to call him ‘Saint Claude’”.

The new single comes during one hell of a year for Christine and The Queens. Just this week she won the Independent Breakthrough of the Year at the AIM Awards 2016, and sold out Brixton Academy in a jaw-dropping 50 minutes. Oh yeah, and her debut ‘Chaleur Humaine’ spent ten weeks in the UK album chart’s top ten. No biggy or anything.
