It's been a busy year for Christine and the Queens. Along with concert dates across the globe—from Coachella to Glastonbury—the sprawling PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE was released in June, featuring co-production by Mike Dean and guest appearances from Madonna and 070 Shake. We spotlighted the album with a digital cover story—which included self-portraits by Chris—and the record also landed at #8 on FLOOD's Best Albums of 2023 list.
Today, Chris is bidding farewell to 2023 with a spirited cover of the Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever classic "Stayin' Alive." First debuted in a live performance medley with "Night Fever" at the Cannes Film Festival this summer, the track now arrives as a full-fledged studio version alongside a video shot in Venice directed by Chris.
"Art heals! Brings us all together again and again! Art is the experience of humanity, the joyful boat of the imagination, the fireside where we reinvent together—childhood," Chris revealed in a statement announcing the track. "My masters use art as a magical refuge and I, in turn, take them along masked, free of themselves into the sovereign realm of their own dreams. Made in a few days, in an emergency with fabulous friends, generous strangers, the inhabitants of Venice the beautiful, this is our fond farewell to 2023. Our PUNK gesture for a better future."
