                    Presents  the  most  powerful,  ambitious,  and
                    feminine album of her career
                   Musically  and  lyrically,  Mon  Laferte  presents  an  exquisite
                   portrayal  of  modern  femininity  through  the  stages  of  love,
                   exploring lounge sounds with live musicians and arrangements
                   that  blend  jazz,  bolero,  lyrical  pop,  and  the  most  nostalgic,
                   introspective,  and  sensual  elements  of  music  that  carry  the
                   night within itself.
                   The  lead  single  for  the  album  is  “Melancolía,”  a  song  that
                   evokes  the  early  days  of  Spanish-language  rock  from  the
                   1950s and 1960s, without losing the introspective quality that
                   defines Femme Fatale.

                   Argentine artists Nathy Peluso and Conociendo Rusia join her
                   on  two  singles  already  available,  “La  Tirana”  and  “Esto  Es
                   Amor”,  respectively.  Brazilian  singer-songwriter  TIAGO  IORC
                   is featured in the track “Hasta Que Nos Despierte La Soledad.”
                   Natalia  Lafourcade  and  Silvana  Estrada  join  her  in  “My  One
                   And  Only  Love”  marks  the  first  bilingual  composition  Mon
                   Laferte has ever released. “Mi Hombre” is her version of the
                   French song first performed at the Casino de Paris in 1920 by
                   the  iconic  Jeanne  Bourgeois,  better  known  as  Mistinguett.
                   Another nod to the femme fatale iconography.
