Following her English only release 5 Dollars released just over a week ago, Christine and the Queens releases her first French only single, the sublime La marcheuse.If Héloïse Letissier’s 80’s pop style could be bottled up and sold on, the magic moments that songs such as La marcheuse conjure up would no longer be deemed as a moment in time. La marcheuse possesses such a high level of beauty that even understanding absolutely none of what is said makes no difference to how truly disruptive the French artist can be.
A translation of La Marcheuse will unearth pride, haunted with violence at every turn, readying arms for easy violence, seeking out the aggressive looks, unafraid of the hands of those who may oppose Letissier, even try and stop her or stand in her way. A lack of translation will unearth the same thing. Tremendous pride, that is decorated with violence that has revealed an unworldly beauty which effortlessly blurs the boundaries between language, igniting passion and art to speak clearer than any words could ever dream to manage. La marcheuse est tout simplement un chef-d’œuvre.
