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.
