STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Thanks to American Songwriter for not only premiering the new Christopher The Conquered non-album track “Paper Man” but for sharing it with such stunning praise. According to the site, it’s “an opus, reminiscent of the soulful cabaret of Anohni (Antony and the Johnsons) and the operatic range of Freddie Mercury (or perhaps more accurately, Hedwig) merged with a piano bar pianist who just had his heart handed to him on a platter."
I enjoy working with bonkers people who make bonkers entertainment for people who appreciate what I call "the bonkers lifestyle," which is so bonkers that I just made it up. Christopher the Conquered's video for his song of questionable advice "Put It On Your Credit Card" moseys right down the center of Bonkers Avenue.
The Big Takeover says: "Acting out with sonically bold and lyrically acerbic enthusiasm... Ford is a born entertainer and has aptly been likened to Elton John for his piano-driven tunes." New album I Am Christopher is out Sept. 25 from the Grand Phony empire.
Christopher The Conquered is coming in hot today with some solid life advice: "When life gets hard, put it on your credit card!" Indeed, it's the title of the first single from the new album I Am Christopher and you can check out this sub-two minute gem right now over at Bad Copy.
Hear it everywhere this Friday; the album is out Sept. 25 on Grand Phony. Find the totally awesome pre-order packages here.

“You know Garfield, he’s a cartoon cat, you got a telephone in the shape of his body yeah, but you don’t pick it up! Why don’t you pick it up? Pick it up!” – Christopher the Conquered
Thought it was a lyric from the next Justin Timberlake album, huh? Justin Timberlake wishes it was. The casual groove intermingles with a chorus of female background vocalists and a horn section, but it’s the “deeply off” that owns.
Yes, it’s actually Christopher the Conquered who is bringing sexy back on his latest album I Am Christopher (Grand Phony, Sept. 25th), opening with this cut and heading right into the album’s first single “Put It On Your Credit Card,” which is what Christopher (actual last name Ford) says you should do “when life gets hard” because “those motherfuckers got enough money anyway.”
A mere two sentences in and life advice has been given, even gifted, if you will.
