This week, Héloïse Letissier kept her promise by unveiling a new album Chris on September 21st. She also shared a new song called "Does not Matter".

" Human Heat was about adolescence, most of the time," says Christine, and it seems she wants to move on. & # 39; Girlfriend & # 39; was a sexually charged song of desire, and now & # 39; Does not Matter & # 39; Christine finds her questioning her place in the universe, as she explains: It's a crisis song that I wrote late at night … This song is a cathedral, with a rhythm as unalterable as the white stone. The bass line, I remember playing for hours, like rocking me. "

One can hear why she took such comfort in the bass line, stable, hot and propulsive, with an effective beat-bap moving from 'Does not Matter' on pop production to The finesse of the track ensures that the weight of the subject discussed does not get bogged down, even if Christine releases her deepest thoughts.We move on to the chorus, where beautiful synths retro-enlighten our singer , the central question rolled becomes a perfect hook that was surely whispered in the back of each of our minds: "It does not matter … if I believe in God and God exists? "With the natural excitement of Christine and the queens, the burden of existence becomes shared among the listeners, and" Does not Matter "becomes a hymn of unity devoid of any notion of" no ". identity
