shares new single
“TEARS CAN BE SO SOFT”

Ahead of new album
PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE
Out June 9

Christine and the Queens today releases a new single, “Tears can be so soft”, from his forthcoming album PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE – out June 9th via Because Music. The track, featured on New Music Daily on Apple Music, is a transcendental showcase of the mystical healing power of tears.

In the accompanying music video for “Tears can be so soft”, Chris moves through the streets of Los Angeles, completely immersed in the rhythm of the track. The video is an ode to creativity and self-expression.

On the inspiration behind the single, Chris says: “’Tears can be so soft’ was born out of the marriage of a Marvin Gaye sample that caught my attention, this intoxicating, elegant, almost poised in its melancholy string arrangement.” Chris wanted a sound that would create “this deep sense of almost womb-like, hypnotic space where the voice could soar in its loneliness,” an “interplay between the suffering that motivates tears and the gentle healing effect they can have.”

An exhibition of Chris’s dynamic vocals in concert with his and Mike Dean’s thrilling orchestration, the track follows the album’s debut single “To be honest“, which Pitchfork described as “dazzlingly grand”.Chris recently gave an outstanding live performance of the track on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The album’s second single, “True love” (featuring 070 Shake), was praised by The New York Times as “thoroughly obsessional”, with Stereogum proclaiming it as “truly gorgeous arena-sized art music”.

PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE is written, performed, and produced by Christine and the Queens, with co-production by Mike Dean (Lana Del Rey, Beyonce). The album will feature guest appearances from powerhouses Madonna and 070 Shake. Pre-order PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE here.

Christine and the Queens recently performed two electrifying sets at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and a sold-out show at The Fonda Theater in Los Angeles. Christine and the Queens is in the midst of an international tour which includes headlining shows in cities like San Francisco and London as well as festivals like Primavera in Barcelona and Madrid, Roskilde in Denmark and C6 Fest in Brazil.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.

Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.

Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
