Redcar (Christine and the Queens) x Rodin's The Age of Bronze in "La Chanson du Chevalier"
Spirit runs through the muscles
Rodin: a life-stealer
A sun-stealer, a glorious architect of this nothingness - life
That visits one day
A body
I cannot think of the inert body Rodin kept close, I cannot fathom of the bodies his art left behind
I consider myself the young man’s mate
Not more alive or cleverer than him, no, and always a student of movement, just like he is
I consider myself as a drunken comrade, delighted not to be alone any longer
In his body sculpted out of the void, remaining still when hurt, a fool in love
The starting point is the life of this body, which I myself receive, as a performer, becoming the bronze hammer, then its resonance, in the far reaches of the room

I'm looking for love in a meaningful way so I never let go
Ce monde est si cruel mets ta main dans la mienne
Mets tes lèvres sur mes lèvres
Let me tell you how I feel
My search of love is mighty real

Christine and the Queens - My birdman
smooth and easy to listen to. vocals on point, hazy and cool. reverbs out into the cosmos.
9/10

Christine and the Queen’s ‘rien dire’ (or ‘say nothing’) is pure nostalgia.
The singer (who recently came out as a transgender man and now uses he/him pronouns) is wracked with romantic angst as his tender vocals drift atop groaning bass and a pulsating heartbeat, littered with glitchy synths. When translated, his words are poetry: ‘Even if I’m not always in your arms/It seems that you are walking besides me/And my gestures took the colour of your movements/And I think about it all the time, in spite of myself.’
Christine and the Queens’ upcoming album, Redcar les adorables étoiles, is now due out November 11 via Because Music.

Bye-bye
Ma bien aimée, bye-bye
My wife 'til I die
My wife 'til I die
So long, oh, my baby long gone
Je ne t'ai vue qu'un instant
Je ne t'ai vue qu'un instant
Cette vie durera l'éternité
Cette couleur là
Cette couleur là
Du tout premier matin de l'été
Qui te lie à moi
Qui te lie à moi
