Following the release of two singles, “Bad Love” and “Living Like There’s No Tomorrow,” Lewis revealed that the band is set to drop more music in the coming months.
Strategic Approach to Album Release
Lewis discussed the band’s strategy for releasing new music, stating, “Yes, actually, that is the plan. Next year we gather everything up.” Instead of the traditional album release model, FEMME FATALE is opting for a method that keeps them consistently in the public eye. “Every eight to 10 weeks, we drop a single and a video,” she noted, ensuring that fans remain engaged with the band’s music.
New Singles and Upcoming Releases
FEMME FATALE is preparing to release another single titled “Falling In And Out Of Love,” which has been re-recorded for the album. Lewis praised producer Steve Brown for his work on the track, emphasizing its impressive sound quality. “Bruno Ravel has mixed and mastered all of the tracks,” she added, highlighting Ravel’s ability to bring a “crunchy” and “radio-friendly” quality to their music.
Collaboration with Iconic Artists
In addition to their singles, Lewis teased an upcoming duet originally planned with former FOREIGNER frontman Lou Gramm. However, due to Gramm’s busy schedule, the collaboration has pivoted to feature another “iconic” artist. “I’m hoping that will come out in February,” she mentioned, expressing excitement about the new direction.
