French songwriter and producer Héloïse Letissier, better known by her artistic moniker Christine and the Queens, has released a new single and music video, “Doesn’t Matter”. The song is a prelude to her upcoming album Chris, due out 9/21 via Because Music. “Doesn’t Matter” is a stark, moody dance track that manages to be both danceable and thought-provoking. Likewise, the video, shot in a gorgeous vintage filter, plays on a balance of tension and attraction in its choreography between two bodies. It amounts to a complex aesthetic experience that will thrill art-pop enthusiasts.

Watch the video for “Doesn’t Matter” below. Christine and the Queens will tour this fall including an appearance at Union Transfer on 11/2.
