In 2018 Christine and the Queens broke through. Already a big star in her native France, it was her second album Chris that made her a household name everywhere else; a big, late 80’s and early 90’s pop album full of lyrics about sex, gender identity, and every grey area in between. It was one of the best albums of the year. With it’s success, came finally an Australian tour, and while she was in town I invited Chris in to Take 5. The day was International Women’s Day, one where we push girls to the front across the radio; in the songs we play, the people we speak to, and the women who bring it. I couldn’t think of a better person to Take 5 with me on this day, than Chris. This conversation is as much about her connection to music, as it is a searching exploration of what it means to be an artist. How you can find your true self in the theatre of the stage, and that conversation you’re constantly having with the audience in front of you.
