Rahim Redcar, the French dance-pop performer formerly known as Christine And The Queens, has announced a new album. Hopecore is set to arrive in one week, on September 27. Along with the announcement is a lead single, “Deep Holes,” which also comes with a video aka “visual poem.”

“Hopecore was made with tears, blood, and mostly an unwavering faith in the raw, pure expression of the soul,” Rahim said in a press release. “Music took here its full prophetic vastness, got wilder, and called for an absolute quest where no one else came in to tamper with intentions. A call of the flesh, a prayer for justice and freedom.”

This comes just a few months after a Christine And The Queens released “rentrer chez moi” and one year after the 20-track PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. To mark this new career era, Rahim will perform Hopecore in a handful of club dates to be announced soon.
