On Thursday November 12th, Christine and the Queens will be the second musical guest ever on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. She will be performing her single "Tilted" live on the show, which airs on Comedy Central at 11pm EST/10pm CST.

Since the release of the critically acclaimed English self-titled debut album in North America via Neon Gold / Because Records / Atlantic Records, the pop sensation joined Marina and The Diamonds on a North American tour, which will end with 3 New York shows; two at Terminal 5 (sold out) and a solo sold out headline show at Webster Hall.

Pitchfork gave the debut an 8.0 stating "It's empowering, bold, and vulnerable, and made for dancing." and SPIN made it a SPIN Essential album"It’s a shimmering collection of great pop songs from a magnetic performer who nonetheless seems unconcerned with being the center of attention..." All the while, New Yorker Magazine draws comparisons to Virginia Woolf's "Orlando" and others compare her style to a modern day Michael Jackson.

The Christine-directed videos for the album tracks "No Harm Is Done" ft Tunji Ige HEREand "Jonathan" ft Perfume Genius HERE flow into each other beautifully, and her video for "Paradis Perdus" via Vogue (Youtube HERE) is fully conceptualized by Christine herself, she enlisted the help of fashion designer JACQUEMUS to beautifully realize the suit visual and reunites here with the duo J.A.C.K, composed of Camille Hirigoyen and Julien Choquart who have directed "Tilted" / "Christine", and her award winning video for "Saint Claude" as well. "Paradis Perdus" is combination of Kanye West's "Heartless" andChristophe's "Les Paradis Perdus".

At the start of the year she was named “Female Artist of the Year” at the French GRAMMY-equivalent Victoires de la Musique ceremony, Christine is already a household name in her native country. “Saint Claude” – which received “Music Video of the Year” honors at the Victoires de la Musique – has proven a massive worldwide hit, earning more than 15 million individual views thus far HERE. In addition, “Christine” HERE – the French-language version of “Tilted” HERE – has drawn nearly 18 million views and counting.

Christine and the Queens came together in London where the Nantes-born Letissier went after studying art and theatre. The artist – named in honor of Christine’s cross-dressing friends at Soho’s famed Madame Jojo’s drag bar – released a series of three EPs beginning in 2011, each one earning further attention and acclaim for her utterly individual brand of French-language freak-pop. Chaleur Humaine arrived in 2014 and immediately established Christine as a phenomenon, earning over 5x platinum certification in just over a year.

Critical acclaim has flowed from major media outlets around the globe, including our own The New York Times’ T Magazine, which applauded Christine’s “androgynous style and herky-jerky choreography...is gunning for pop-music stardom that doesn't depend on sex.” NYLON hailed Christine as “ridiculously stylish” while praising her “sophisticated art-pop” Huffington Post decreed Christine and the Queens as “the Next Big Thing at SXSW,” noting her mix of modern pop and killer choreography…all rock star swagger and MJ moves…seduces and slays in equal measure.” “The coolest French import since Brigitte Bardot,” raved Entertainment Weekly. “(Christine’s) electro-tinged pop has a smooth, rich vibe that combines the glitz of the ‘80s with the soul of the future. We can’t get enough.”
