Christine and the Queens: Pride

Christine and the Queens: Pride

Christine and the Queens began, as sole member Héloïse Letissier likes to recall, after three drag performers gave him some advice: “You should own everything again. And no more shame.” Those words turned out to be the inspiring force behind the French synth-pop performer's remarkable career, even informing the moniker that Letissier chose: a reference to the drag queens who became his spiritual fairy godmothers. Christine, a.k.a. Chris, has provided this bespoke Pride playlist, which runs a wide gamut—electro-pop from Charli XCX and Fever Ray, Bowie rock, Prince funk, Missy R&B and even a little palate-cleansing Tchaikovsky.
