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.

“Bad Love” – A Deep Connection

The single “Bad Love,” co-written with Steve Brown and guitarist David Julian, captures the tumultuous nature of complex relationships.

The track features a notable guitar solo from former GUNS N’ ROSES guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, alongside the rhythm section of Joey Cassata and Sean McNabb.

“Living Like There’s No Tomorrow” – An Anthem of Resilience

The second single, “Living Like There’s No Tomorrow,” emerged from a collaborative effort between Lewis and Brown. Lewis was drawn to the song’s anthemic quality, which resonated with her personal experiences leading up to their collaboration. The production, carried out at Brown’s Mojo Vegas studio, reflects a contemporary rock sound while maintaining the band’s roots.

FEMME FATALE: A Legacy Reimagined

FEMME FATALE, known for their self-titled album released in 1988, is re-establishing their presence in the rock genre. Lewis, who previously performed with VIXEN, is excited to return to the band’s original lineup dynamics, stating, “We’re getting back to the roots of that.” The current lineup features all male musicians, marking a significant shift from her recent experiences with female-led bands.
