Christine and the Queens, which confusingly is actually just one super talented person, Héloïse Adelaïde Letissier but who goes by “Chris” is a pansexual genderqueer French musical artist who is steadily gaining an international following. Much of that success is via their second album, also titled “Chris” which has just released a new single, “People, I’ve Been Sad”.

Christine and the Queens continues her irresistible evolution with new single “People, I’ve been sad”, available to stream and buy on all digital platforms via Because Music, and to watch as an exclusive live performance on COLORS.
