Christine And The Queens

Christine And The Queens

Christine And The Queens has been played on NTS in shows including Michelle's Club Hour, featured first on 4 July 2018. Songs played include Minuit 13, True Love and Goya ! Soda !.

Christine and the Queens is the musical project of French singer-songwriter born Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier, and subsequently known variously as Chris, Redcar and, most recently, Rahim Redcar.

Letissier released his debut full-length album as Christine and the Queens, Chaleur humaine, in 2014. An English language version of the album, titled Christine and the Queens, was released in 2016. Sophomore album Chris was released in September 2018 to universal acclaim.

Letissier has used numerous personal and stage names, and remarked that he "just ha many names for all the layers". He began his career as Christine and the Queens. For his second studio album, he shortened it to Chris, which was accompanied by a shift to a persona described as "a woman playing with masculine tropes". In October 2021, he was using the name Rahim. This sparked a debate around cultural appropriation due to the name's Arabic origin. He eventually began using a succession of different names such as Sam le pompier (the French title of Fireman Sam) and a full stop before settling on Redcar, sometimes shortened as Red. In August 2022, he updated his pronouns to he/him across social media platforms. In 2023, with the release of fourth album Paranoïa, Angels, True Love, he seemed to have reverted to simply Chris. However, he still occasionally uses his birth name, about which he said: "Héloïse Letissier is my parents' provenance and I love my parents. I sometimes use Héloïse to reconnect me to my childhood, but my inner child name is Manamané."
