Description
A former pizza delivery driver and now self-taught full-time musician, CRi first caught the attention of tastemaker press with early single 'Rush' and his subsequent 'Someone Else' EP. Not long after, he joined the Anjunadeep roster in 2019 and gained attention from the label fanbase, and radio titans Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Jason Bentley with his 'Initial EP'.
His debut album 'Juvenile' exceeded expectations, being nominated for a number of awards, including Best Electronic Album at the JUNO Awards, and three separate titles at the 2021 ADISQ Awards, including Electronic Album of the Year and 'Revelation' of the Year, which CRi won.
Since the release of 'Juvenile', CRi has released three singles, an EP and remixes for Bob Moses and Lane 8; become one of the first electronic acts to headline Montr?al Jazz Festival to an audience of 45,000; and performed around the world once more, writing as he went. Since the slower days of the pandemic lockdown, and Quebec's tentative reopening of nightlife and music venues, CRi's life has become much more fast-paced once again; a transformation that has been infused into every beat of his new album 'Miracles'.
The vinyl release of 'Miracles' comprises 14 tracks, including two standout prior singles, 'Something About' and 'Losing My Mind' (feat. Jesse Mac Cormack), which, combined, have already accumulated 10 million streams between them. The other twelve tracks on 'Miracles' (including 3 bonus vinyl-only recordings) showcase Christophe's signature warming synths, in addition to an impressively wide range of sounds, from drum and bass, to indie, from electronic and chillout, making this work his most expansive to date.
After the album's release, CRi will be heading on a live tour of North America, stopping off in seven cities, including Los Angeles, Denver, Toronto and, of course, his hometown of Montr?al, where he'll be headlining at iconic venue MTelus, which regularly plays host to indie-electronic stars, including, recently, Metronomy, Jungle, Monolink, Max Cooper and Amtrac, and is a perfect spot to celebrate his rise in this scene, before he takes his live tour to Europe in early 2024.
'Miracles' is out 22nd September, 2023.
