Christine and the Queens on enlisting Madonna for 'weird musical' (BBC News)

The singer has enlisted Madonna for his new album and debuted new material at the 6 Music Festival.

"She sent me the lines and she delivered in such a perfect way. "And she said, 'Yes!' I think because she was enticed by the insanity of the whole thing. "My, it was super intimidating," Chris says of following in the footsteps previous Meltdown curators like Grace Jones, The Cure's Robert Smith, David Bowie, Yoko Ono, Patti Smith and Nick Cave. And also, any time she wants me to just do something for her, I'll be of service all my life." "She did a very risky FaceTime when I explained the whole concept and I was like, 'Do you want to be an actress in this weird musical? "What is the most emblematic female voice we have in the pop landscape?"

'Spellbinding': Christine and the Queens captivates at 6 Music Festival (Manchester Evening News)

Chris, iconoclastic songwriter and singer of Christine and the Queens, had nowhere to hide last night. As the 6 Music Festival entered its second night, ...

It’s a powerful moment, one of so many in what was an emotional, cathartic, exhausting and exhilarating headline performance from a future icon of pop music. Between tracks, philosophical poetry poured out, enough to rival another magnificent Frenchman who once held the stadium barely 200 metres from the Victoria Warehouse in his thrall. It’s the voice that strikes instantly - crystalline, pure, flawless, in fact. Chris, iconoclastic songwriter and singer of Christine and the Queens, had nowhere to hide last night. With three albums down and another to come in the summer, this was the world debut of his new live show, a pared down, minimal representation of some of the most arresting music to have emerged from France in decades. No visuals, no light shows, no bells, no whistles.

She sent Chris the lines he needed, and he was happy to have the chance to direct her in his creation. Chris offered Madonna the chance to become an actress in his new work of musical theatre, which was a unique and interesting experience for her. Madonna appears on three tracks on the new album, in the role of Big Eye, a mystical “being of light” whose true nature is difficult to define, and who provides important words of wisdom throughout the record.
