Christine and the Queens released two new songs, "Rendez-vous avec toi" and "Rendez-vous in your arms," each in French and English versions. Both come with a music video co-directed by Chris and Raphaël De Albuquerque, with choreography by Alexander Ekman.
Why it matters
The release is the first preview of a new album, following a three-year gap since the artist's last proper solo record. It also signals a return to live performance with four full-band shows in Europe and the UK.
The two songs are released as a double single in French and English versions, with a music video for each. Four full-band shows are scheduled for December in Brussels, London, Amsterdam, and Paris at the Alhambra.
