A warbling synth note, crescendoing into a massive chord and cut off, suddenly, by a delightful pop-funk beat. “Chris” opens on a high note and never goes down; but what’s to be expected from one of pop’s unsung champions? Hailing from France, Héloïse Letissier makes some of the finest tunes around, earnest and rhythmic and endlessly danceable. While each track is lovely in Christine and the Queen’s native tongue, the English versions supply fantastic lyrics that reward an attentive listener. Bristling with confidence and charisma, “Chris” supplies anthems for anyone lucky enough to hear it. Key Tracks: “Comme si,” “5 dollars,” “The walker”
