November 8 Christine and the Queens debuted the video for ‘The walker,’ the new single to be lifted from her highly acclaimed second album, Chris.
The single follows her recent, rapturously received performances of ‘5 dollars’ on BBC1’s Graham Norton Show and ‘Comme si’ on CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert . She will also appear on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month on November 21. ‘The walker’ is directed by Colin Solal Cardo, who also directed the videos for ‘5 dollars’ and ‘Doesn’t matter’.
“It is about the audacity of someone wounded. By exposing the wounds you can hurl yourself against violence before you are killed by it,” said Chris of ‘The walker’ during her YouTube In Conversation event with Solal Cardo. “The joy of working with Chris is that we get to explore these different universes and aesthetics,” adds the director of the video. “I’ve always loved to explore different cinematic universes and so when I get to explore and pay homage to movies that I love, and tell stories in a different way.”
Chris was written, arranged and performed by Christine and the Queens. It is the follow up to her already-iconic debut record Chaleur Humaine, released to near-universal acclaim in France in 2014 and the UK in 2016, and selling more than 1.3 million copies to date. Variety recently featured her in their Grammy Awards 2019 Predictions for Best New Artist. Also featuring the singles ‘Girlfriend’ and ‘5 dollars,’ and available in English and French language versions, Chris is available in digital and physical formats, including double CD and vinyl versions, as well as limited edition boxsets, courtesy of Because Music.
