Following their absolutely electrifying team-up at the Champions Parade, French disco legend Cerrone and contemporary pop powerhouse Christine and the Queens are back, hitting us with 'Catching Feelings' – the very first taste of a brand-spanking-new 4-track EP. And let me tell you, this track, alongside its thrilling Christine and the Queens-directed music video, is a proper statement piece; a vibrant explosion of feeling under the club lights, where honesty reigns supreme.
Their initial, unexpected meeting on that monumental stage by the Arc de Triomphe was pure alchemy. Cerrone, the undisputed master of French disco, invited Christine and the Queens, a genuine leading light of modern pop, to join him for a dazzling re-imagining of 'Supernature'. That moment kick-started something special, a powerful, intergenerational artistic bond that’s clearly still cooking.
From that jaw-dropping performance, an instant musical connection just bloomed. Cerrone, reportedly captivated by Christine and the Queens’ incredible vocal boldness and precision, wasted no time inviting him into the studio to keep the adventure going. And just like that, 'Catching Feelings' came to life – a luminous, organic pop-disco tune brimming with raw, modern emotion. Over layers that are both sensual and totally danceable, they sing, "Let me be your man, don’t be afraid, catching feelings for me," with an intensity that’s frankly rare.
This isn't just a love song; it’s an open invitation, a welcoming of emotion, desire, and pure authenticity. 'Catching Feelings' perfectly blends musical heritage – that hedonistic and political spirit of disco – with today’s uninhibited language: free, tender, and unashamed. There’s a fantastic creative tension in this song, along with a sincerity and style that truly transcends the usual boxes. It’s the kind of track that gets you grooving while also stirring something deeper inside.
This whole project is a brilliant crossover between the enduring legacy of disco and a completely liberated take on desire and intimacy. It’s more than just a tune – it’s where an era meets a movement. With lyrics like "let me be your man, don’t be afraid, catching feelings for me," it perfectly captures the raw, organic chemistry between a groovy, dancefloor-ready production and a message of honest, unfiltered emotion. It embodies a form of intimacy that’s free, joyful, and fully embraced.
Disco here becomes a platform for contemporary expression, fluid and perfectly tuned to the realities of desire and emancipation. It’s where influences don't just blend; they evolve. Get ready to feel it.
