Christine And The Queens Announce New Album ‘PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE’
Christine and the Queens have announced his new album PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE, which arrives June 9th via Because Music. As a taste of what’s to come, he also shared new lead single dubbed “To Be Honest.”
The upcoming was primarily written, performed, and produced by Christine and the Queens, though the record reunited the singer with producer Mike Dean. The two previously worked together on 2022’s Redcar les adorables étoiles. The album features a handful of collaborations with guest features from o70 Shake and the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, who’s on three songs (!!)
Speaking about the new record in a press release, Chris said “This new record is the second part of an operatic gesture that also encompassed 2022’s Redcar les adorables étoiles. Taking inspiration from the glorious dramaturgy of Tony Kushner’s iconic play, Angels in America, Redcar felt colourful and absurd like Prior sent to his insane dream-space.
“The follow-up Paranoïa, Angels, True Love is a key towards heart-opening transformation, a prayer towards the self—the one that breathes through all the loves it is made of. Prior’s real agony in Angels in America is a deep, painful becoming, a shedding of all waters and memories, that then allows angels to immerse deep too, and offer back profound, narrative-altering love—a rest in true love.”

In support of the record, Chris will head out on tour starting March 13th in San Francisco. He’ll then head over to Europe for the summer. The singer will also appear at various festivals, such as Coachella and Glastonbury. Check out all of his dates here.
