Every album in the synth-pop arsenal of Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier – aka French vocalist-composer– benefits from a delicious brand of drama to go with his often obtuse lyricism.

Dean – known for a production slate including the Weeknd, Beyoncé and Kanye West – says he fell in love with Christine and the Queens’ music courtesy of his girlfriend Louise: “She was a big fan, always playing it during dinner,” he says in a separate interview. He became one, too, enough so to make the producer curious enough to reach out to the French singer. “He snuck into the United States through Mexico during the pandemic, and his journey with me began,” says Dean.

Noting that “Angels in America” was written in two parts with a main centerpiece and a small prologue that touches on madness, Chris’ lyrics, too, went about the greatly pained transitions that Kushner’s main “Angels” character Prior went through during its epic dramaturgy. “Spiritually… it was necessary for me to purge,” said Chris. “It was intricate in thought, but I needed to re-contextualize all that I was thinking for the new album.

“Chris always had great instincts,” Dean says quietly about helping to turn “Paranoia, Angels, True Love” into an opulent work of ethereal synth-pop while remaining true to his own sonic nature. “I was just being myself, and doing stuff that we liked,” said the producer with great emphasis. “This was self-indulgent music with a strong message.”
