Архив новостей | Русская версия
FEMME FATALE, the long-running band fronted by Lorraine Lewis, has just released a comeback single, "Living Like There's No Tomorrow", via Cleopatra Records. The official Vicente Cordero-directed music video for the track can be seen here.
"Living Like There's No Tomorrow" was written by Lewis and TRIXTER guitarist/vocalist Steve Brown, who also produced the song at his Mojo Vegas 6160 studio in New Jersey. The track was engineered by Brown and Scott Gutierezz and was mixed by Bruno Ravel.
Not quite 40 years since the L.A.-based band released their still-epochal self-titled debut album, rewrote the rules for late 80s metal, and then effectively disappeared from view, Lewis remains a captivating performer and songwriter, and proves it with "Living Like There's No Tomorrow", the first single from what promises to be one of 2025's most eagerly-awaited albums.
"Living Like There's No Tomorrow" has a killer singalong chorus, and is certain to become of the songs of the summer. It is also, she says, a very personal song.
"It relates to me on so many levels," Lorraine explains. "There have been times when I thought it all might be over. But I picked myself up, brushed off the dirt and got back in the ring. It's about never giving up, never letting anyone get over on you to take you out and remembering who you are! Everyone can relate to that on some level. And FEMME FATALE has never been out. I've always been here just waiting for this moment.
"I'm forever grateful to Steve Brown for calling me a year ago and saying, 'Let's make a record.' That's exactly what we've done. I can't wait for people to hear the new song, see the video and hear the other singles we will be dropping. We have big songs coming and I'm over the moon to have signed with Cleopatra Records."
Recorded with Brown and Joel Hoekstra (WHITESNAKE) on chiming guitars, and the alchemical rhythm section of Sean McNabb (bass) and Matt Starr (drums),"Living Like There's No Tomorrow" is accompanied by a truly invigorating video — although you may need to hide behind the sofa if you have a fear of heights. Yes, that's Lorraine leaping out of a plane, however many thousands of feet above the ground.
As for bringing FEMME FATALE back, Lorraine has little more than fabulous memories of the original FEMME FATALE. "But this is and has always been my band and I get to call the shots, which is the way I like it," she says. "I live life to the fullest and always have my foot on the gas. There is no stopping me."
Indeed, there isn't. In keeping with the theme of living life to the max, Lorraine is also currently writing a book, stepping into the reality show arena and she has a vivacious presence on OnlyFans too.
"Like I said, my foot is always on the gas!" she concludes.

FEMME FATALE released a self-titled MCA album in 1988 which produced two big rock singles and MTV videos: "Waiting For The Big One" and "Falling In And Out of Love".
The 66-year-old Lewis reactivated FEMME FATALE after a nearly six-year run as the lead vocalist of VIXEN, whom she was invited to join in 2019. Lorraine has also been recording with Lou Gramm, the original FOREIGNER lead singer and Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer. They have recorded an interpretation of David Bowie's "Heroes" for release later this year.
Lewis was fired from VIXEN in May 2024 and was replaced by Rosa Laricchiuta.
