Christine and the Queens Announces New Album ‘Chris’ & Shares New Single ‘Doesn’t Matter’

Guess who’s back in the house… After some much needed time off, it’s time to get back into the groove of updating!

Following her triumphant return with the Dâm-Funk-assisted “Girlfriend” back in May, Christine and the Queens has offered up another brand new track: “Doesn’t Matter,” the second offering from Chris – her just confirmed follow-up LP to 2014’s Chaleur Humaine – is “a crisis song that I wrote late one night,” she says in a press release. “This song is a cathedral, with a rhythm as unalterable as white stone. The bass line, I remember playing it for hours, as if to rock myself.”

Unlike the more disco-esque feel of “Girlfriend,” “Doesn’t Matter” finds the French darling lacing her earnest vocals across a much crunchier pop production. “It doesn’t matter, does it/ If I know any exit/ If I believe in god and if god does exist,” she croons across the kicky drum pulses. It’s lush, heartfelt, and there’s a French version too! You got options y’all.

The song comes accompanied by the premiere of it’s official music video – as directed by Colin Solal Card. She’s also now confirmed the tracklisting for Chris, which hits stores on September 21 and looks like this:

1. Comme si
