.QueensChristine's surprise EP 'La vita nouva' is a divine celebration, an enlightening rebirth for an artist at the top of her songwriting craft. Check out belfryfire's review -
, re-recorded and released in English as a self-titled album, signified an artist developing into her maturity. Many of the songs allude to unsureness during periods of growth and follows with the ensuing babble of brain working much too fast for a mouth to keep up with. Her second albumwas a move to a masculine persona, appropriating the male gaze to detail her sometimes justified, sometimes toxic manner of sexual behavior.
They were sweetly dense albums and set up Chris’ convention of diving into her native tongue when dealing with ideas too abstract to describe in English, her second language. It’s what makes her particular brand of frantic, mania-induced pop so salient—her duet with Charli XCX, “Gone,” wouldn’t be one of last year’s best pop songs if not for her sprightly, primal ruminations on otherness amidst a party scenario .
Chris opens by addressing the audience with the show-stopping “People, I’ve been sad,” in which, paired with scintillating drums, Chris explains she feels she’s been neglecting herself to the point that she’s missed some opportunities. Interesting, considering Chris is at the top of her career—but she’s lonely.
