S: People, I've Been Sad

Though her career is on fire as ever, Christine and the Queens' Héloïse Letissier can still be sad, as she eloquently points out in her latest song. On Wednesday, Christine released her brand new single People, I've Been Sad, a melancholy pop ballad that sees the singer embracing her inner turmoil. With a deep, thrumming bass mixed with Letissier's crystal-clear vocals, the track follows the singer's mind as she thinks about missing out on life and feeling isolated, before turning to the listener for validation when she sings: You know the feeling.

... it's true that people, I've been missing out.
