<\/p>\nChristine and the Queens and Thee Diane combine on new single \u2018Ah Ya\u2019.<\/p>\n
The two have known one another for a long time, with Thee Diane playing a key part in Christine and the Queens\u2019 lore. Indeed, Thee Diane previously appeared on the cover art of Christine and the Queens\u2019 2022 album\u00a0\u2018Redcar les adorables \u00e9toiles\u2019.<\/p>\n
Hitting the studio, \u2018Ah Ya\u2019 is an attempt to wrestle with club energy in a pop format, with the afro-inspired rhythms and lush electronics. Vocally, Christine and the Queens neatly intertwines with Thee Diane, a thrillingly seductive experience.<\/p>\n
Christine and the Queens\u2019 Rahim says:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom our friendship, the legacy is music
We\u2019ve been singing together for several years \u2013 now, our voices answer each other, melt into one
In the writing, too, things come to us harmoniously, in one breath \u2013
Where the music goes, we go without thinking
The melody then unfolds to bring us its sweet, sweet relief
Find a sister,
Find a brother
In the night of the world
Conversations, late at night ; the pact is sealed :
We built our sound,
We protect our sound.
Ah ya is the collaboration of two rebels, and I say this without flaunting,
Since we still dare to love in the night of a world so fragile
Since we dream ourselves free,
Total emancipation of our fortresses
\u00a0
\u201cThe place in which I\u2019ll fit will not exist until I make it.\u201d James Baldwin\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Thee Diane shares:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis song is an invitation to tune into a higher frequency. It\u2019s a freer, almost instinctive format. A way to reconnect with oneself, to follow our heart and let the body speak as much as the voice. To listen to your heart and create from a truer place. We wanted to break free, following the example of other artists such as Michael Jackson, Prince, Kool & The Gang, Kate Bush\u2026 who created long, cinematic musical landscapes where emotion takes precedence over structure.
\u00a0
This is the first track of a beautiful artistic collaboration and a deep friendship between us.\u201d<\/p>\n
