    I love all tracks on the EP, specially la vita nouva with Caroline Polachek and disappear in tour hands. Her best work yet.

    What an amazing EP! Probably Christine's best work! Loved it! It will surely be one of the best EPs of 2020.

    Are you kidding me.
    That's the end of the creative road for Christine. Take the title people I've been sad.
    Isn't she already think herself as someone worth talking about? Like someone should care. I think Fame cuts wings of the middle take stars. These are cut.

    One of the best projects of the year! It flows so smoothly and touches on a personal level. Can't. Stop. Dancing.

    Christine and the Queens overcame herself again! Brilliant EP, brilliant short movie. She's a unique pop force. I can't wait to see were she'll take us next!

    It's wild how this, in only 13 mins, shows the talent Christine possesses. I'm a firm believer that art comes in many different forms from everywhere and I wouldn't deny, even for a second, that this is purely a work of art. It's shocking to be reminded that art like this is still being made and that it can be appreciated by many.

It's shocking to be reminded that art like this is still being made and that it can be appreciated by many. This is a piece of art that shows truth, honesty, and reality in art in the mainstream through expressive dance and communicating with your body. It shocked me because although I've liked what Christine has had to offer in the past, this shows her growth as an artist in a way that's borderline incomprehensible, as it seems to be timeless and infinitely inspiring on a deep, deep personal level.
    This feels like some sort of cultural reset in the form of art.
    Caroline Polachek came to serve.
    i'm beginning to get Bowie vibes from Chris –I say this as a compliment.    … Expand

Los beats tratan de pasar de ser Balads a canciones Dance que simplemente no logran el objetivo de forma puntual. A pesar de eso, este EP es interesante de escuchar y su propuesta, aunque no innovadora, sí se escucha autentica.

    This little project of the French dancer and singer Heloise Letissier as brief as it is, it's also heavy to hear. Produced by Ash Workman and the same Christine And The Queens, it has the clear porpoise of blurring the frontier between languages and unify them in one single rhythm, which can have a lot of value, but the Electric Pop with a very french style just tries to seduce the public to sing without achieving it properly. The beats try to go from a Balad to Dance songs that simply don't achieve that main goal. Nevertheless, this EP is interesting to hearing and her proposal, even if it's not innovative, it feels authentic.    … Expand

    Extremely rich for such a short project. Chris is an artist who evolves which each new release and La Vita Nova is no exception. The video project released alongside the EP displays Chris' willingness to experiment with form and boundaries, this is not simply a music video but a theatric and cinematic project.

    Confined to merely six tracks, the ‘La vita nuova’ EP feels like it ends too soon - and that’s entirely symptomatic of how strong the songwriting is. In 2020, Christine is still truly in a league of her own.

    La Vita Nuova is a fine complement to the Chris era.

    La vita nuova sounds like a collection of essentials for a soon-to-be prolific artist.
