Extremely discreet lately, Chris was preparing a little surprise for his audience. In 2022, the 34-year-old artist returns to the forefront with a new concept album entitled Redcar the adorable stars. This is fantastic news for all those who have been waiting for new musical releases from him since 2018 – despite a few small nuggets scattered here and there, including the EP The Vita Nuova and his two more recent covers of Like the bird and Freedom by George Michael.

A little more officially in my family and in my privacy in recent months. It’s quite a long process. Quit trolling me, trolling me with real attacks. Know that I gender myself in the masculine, so it’s a way of addressing me.” Another solution would be, if not, to simply leave him alone…
