Chaleur Humaine, Christine & The Queens, LP

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. A huge star in her native France, Christine and the Queens partially rerecorded her radiant debut album in English. The language shift has diluted nothing from the LP's allure. "Titled" and "iT" are the knockout singles, "Jonathan" and "Paradis Perdus" are luscious torch songs, and "Here" provides a multi-lingual climax.
