Christine And The Queens – “Tilted (Bayonne Remix)” (Stereogum Premiere)
“Tilted” was one of the highlights on French pop upstart Christine And The Queens’ acclaimed 2015 debut album. Now the song is getting a full EP of remixes including this gorgeous reimagining by Bayonne. The Austin producer lends a spectral grace to an already beautiful song, filling in the stuttering rhythms with plaintive piano and other sounds designed to rend your heart in two. That refrain, “I am actually good,” has never sounded more powerful than it does here. Listen below.
Christine And The Queens’ song “iT” was featured on a recent episode of Girls, which inspired Christine (aka Héloïse Letissier) to record this improvised dance routine in celebration:
