Following their electric performance at the Champions Parade following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Cerrone and Christine and the Queens reunite on “Catching feelings”, the first taste of an upcoming 4-track EP filled with fresh new material. “Cathing feelings” and its thrilling Christine and the Queens-directed music video is a manifesto track; an emotional firework show under the dancefloor strobe lights; a space for truth.
Their unexpected and magnetic encounter took place on the monumental stage surrounding the Arc de Triomphe: Cerrone, pioneer and undisputed master of French disco, invited Christine and the Queens, a leading figure of contemporary pop, to join him for a dazzling reimagining of “Supernature”. This moment marked the beginning of a strong, intergenerational, and deeply embodied artistic alchemy.
From this performance, an immediate musical connection was born. Cerrone, captivated by Christine and the Queens’ vocal boldness and precision, invited him to the studio to continue the adventure. Very quickly, “Catching feelings” came to life: a luminous, organic pop-disco track filled with raw, modern emotion. Over sensual and danceable layers, they sing, “Let me be your man, don’t be afraid, catching feelings for me,” with rare intensity. This is more than a love song — it’s a proposition, an invitation to welcome emotion, desire, and authenticity.
“Catching Feelings” embodies the subtle fusion of musical heritage — that of hedonistic and political disco — with today’s language: free, tender, and uninhibited. There’s creative tension in this song, along with sincerity and style that transcend conventions. It’s a track that makes you dance while stirring something deeper and more intimate.
This project is a unique crossover between the legacy of disco and a completely liberated approach to desire and intimacy. It’s more than a track—it’s the meeting point of an era and a movement. With lyrics like “let me be your man, don’t be afraid, catching feelings for me,” it captures the raw, organic chemistry between a groovy, dancefloor-ready production and a message of honest, unfiltered emotion. It expresses a form of intimacy that is free, joyful, and fully embraced. Disco becomes a platform for contemporary expression, fluid and attuned to the realities of desire and emancipation. It’s where influences don’t just blend—they evolve.
