Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Christine", also released under the titles "Cripple" and "Tilted", is a song by Héloïse Letissier who records under the name Christine and the Queens. "Christine", which is recorded in French, was released for download on 13 October 2014 through Because Music as the third single from her debut studio album Chaleur humaine (2014). It was, however, originally recorded in English titled "Cripple" in 2012, and a later English version was released as "Tilted" on 3 March 2015. It was named one of the ten best songs of 2015 by Time magazine. "Christine" was a number one hit on both of Belgium's Ultratop charts and peaked at number 3 in France, while "Tilted" became a top 20 hit in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
A music video to accompany the release of "Christine" was first released onto YouTube on 18 December 2014. The minimal and largely blue and black visuals in the videos for "Christine" and the English version "Tilted" are identical, and feature Letissier and her dancers performing intricate dance routines on a platform. During the last scene of Better Things' second season finale, the music video was reenacted by Sam, Frankie, Duke and Phyllis as a graduation gift for Max. Pitchfork would go on to name the sequence as one of "The 10 Best Music Moments on TV in 2017"
"Last April, directing duo J.A.C.K.'s video for Christine and the Queens' Saint Claude was all about Christine's brilliant, FX-enhanced dance performance on a plinth in an all-red studio. And now comes the sequel, with Christine and J.A.C.K repeating the pure dance-themed approach and staging for the eponymous 'Christine' - with added dancers and a different colour scheme. And once again, there's fantastic energy, passion and skill in the performances, captured with seamlessly fluid camerawork by DoP Dylan Doyle." (David Knight, Promonews)
