Christine & The Queens delivers new single 'Tears can be so soft'

With his highly-anticipated new album landing early next month, Christine & The Queens has now delivered the next cut to be lifted from his forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Tears can be so soft' comes accompanied by a stunning self-directed video, and follows on from the previously shared tracks 'To be honest' and the 070 Shake collaboration 'True Love' in previewing his new LP 'PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE', which is out on the 9th June via Because Music.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “Tears can be so soft was born out of the marriage of a Marvin Gaye sample that caught my attention, this intoxicating, elegant, almost poised in its melancholy string arrangement.” Chris wanted a sound that would create “this deep sense of almost womb-like, hypnotic space where the voice could soar in its loneliness,” an “interplay between the suffering that motivates tears and the gentle healing effect they can have.”
