With the song “To Be Honest”, published with its clip this Wednesday March 8, Christine and the Queens, alias Redcar, announce the release of a new album in June.
Redcar is dancing again. This Wednesday, March 8, Christine and the Queens releases the song To Be Honest, first extract from an album announced in stores on June 9th. The title was released accompanied by its clip, in black and white, in which the artist, who made the video himself and recovered from his recent knee injury, dances facing the sea on the English coast, dressed in the costume black specific to its new identity, that of Redcar, gendered now in the masculine.
The singer therefore announces the release of a fourth album, only a few months after the publication of Redcar: the adorable stars, prologue of an “operatic gesture”, in his own words, published last November. With the first excerpt from the continuation of his project, To Be Honest, Redcar operates a return to the ingredients that made the success of Christine and the Queens: a voice sublimated by a powerful and celestial rhythm. Further on, then, new-wave sounds from the 80s of his previous project, divisive, presented on stage at the end of last year.
Redcar’s next album, dubbed PARANOIA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE, will be released on June 9, 2023. It has twenty tracks, co-produced with Mike Dean (Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé). And by way of featurings, Christine and the Queens offers two artists, the American rapper 070 Shake and… the most famous popstar in the world, Madonna. Just that !
