"I think her voice is amazing. I can see why she's killing it. It's exactly the sort of voice I like, it's gravelly and has texture. The video is amazing too. That's something you guys, The French, do really well, visuals and aesthetics. I was thinking, 'F***, I'd like to steal that idea. I hope it doesn't become a hit in England.' Haha." -
"The song that I really like right now... It's by Christine And The Queens and it's called 'Saint Claude'. It's got this beautiful music video, it's really simple, the melodies are transcendent. I love it." -
"She's great. I love her music." -
"A young female singer who found inspiration in the performances of London's drag artists has become the summer sensation of the French music scene." -

Pushing boundaries in both genre and gender, the unique sound of Christine And The Queens pairs flamboyant pop with powerful minimalism. Beyond her incredible success in her native France, she has caught the ear of another cultural sensation in , who has recently been singing Christine's praises in and on . and have recently joined the chorus as well, professing their love for Christine.
