Rahim Redcar (FKA Christine and the Queens) announces new album 'HOPECORE'

After establishing himself as one of the more progressive names in the alt-pop arena this past decade, Rahim Redcar (FKA Christine and the Queens) has now announced his plans for a new studio album, arriving later this week!

Marking the first piece of new material under his new moniker, the new full-length 'HOPECORE' is being previewed by the lead single 'DEEP HOLES', and is set to arrive on the 27th September.

Music took here its full prophetic vastness, got wilder, and called for an absolute quest where no one else came in to tamper with intentions. A call of the flesh, a prayer for justice and freedom.”
