“Yes sir, I am wet,” declares Hélöise Letissier on “Girlfriend,” a non-binary lust-fest with slithering keytar from Cali synth scientist Dâm-Funk. The lead single from the French pop heroine’s second album under the moniker Christine & The Queens arrived with a striking video – the only sort Letissier makes – riffing visually off Charles C. Ebbets’ famous 1932 photograph Lunch Atop A Skyscraper, full of muscular choreography, the singer conjuring vintage Madonna with a touch of Jean-Paul Belmondo and rebranding Christine as Chris, a roughneck in a wifebeater who doesn’t so much blur genders as transcend them.
