Christine and the Queens: People, I've been sad

An absolutely cracking performance from Christine and the Queens for US TV.

She performed People, I've Been Sad for the Late Late Show with James Corden filmed at La Chapelle des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

TV shows can do all sorts of amazing things for staging live acts in a studio, but a backdrop like this is quite something. It's also somehow an appropriate stage for the song, adding both mystery and beauty.

It is, of course, filmed and produced to absolute perfection. Just marvel at the lighting in the background illuminating the treasures of the chapel.

In some ways it reminds me of some of the great work that's been done by La Blogotheque over the years.

The song is the first track on her La Vita Nuova EP, released earlier this year,

While it will certainly further Christine's reputation in the USA,  I can't help but think it will also attract one or two more tourists to explore some of Paris's lesser-known attractions once Covid-19's grip is relaxed.
