    I was going to post this same track and was a bit surprised to see this had been posted before! I'm a big fan of Christine and the Queens since seeing them (the dancers from the "Christine" video were there!) live in Montreal shortly after the release of Chaleur Humaine.

    I am very late to the party here, but I'd like to bring attention to the full EP "La vita nuova" which has an accompanying short film (visual EP?), just in case you haven't seen it. It's really sensual and bizarre and ... aesthetic, I guess? I don't really have the words. I think my favourite track is the title track.

      Yesss! So happy to see another Christine and the Queens fan here! I love pretty much everything she does. I love her music; I love her gender presentation; I love that her videos have the glossiness of pop mixed with down-to-earth emotiveness — particularly her dancing.

      I’ve listened to La vita nuova a ton but somehow missed the film. What a treat! You’re right on the money with the title track being the best — that last sequence was phenomenal.

      It honestly might be worth posting the whole thing on its own, since this topic is older and because it is absolutely a feature.
