Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

11. Christine and The Queens – Chaleur Humaine

RW: One of the things that’s really cool about Christine is that she releases her music in English and French. She uses it as a tool for writing lyrics because she can bounce off the meanings in different languages.

JH: She’s a great dancer too

RW: Also like Janelle Monáe and Sophie, she creates a whole world. The emotion in her body when she dances equals the emotions when she opens her mouth.

JH: I love how Perfume Genius is on the record too. Those two really make sense working together.
