In a new interview with 80s_METAL_HEADZ, Lorraine Lewis spoke about some of the projects she has coming up for later in 2026 after the recent release of two singles, "Bad Love" and "Living Like There's No Tomorrow", from her long-running band FEMME FATALE via Cleopatra Records.

The singer said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): ″I feel really lucky to be signed to Cleopatra Records.

We've released two singles so far.

We're gonna release a whole album by the end of the year.

I'm hoping that we release the next single and video maybe the second or third week of March.

And then I've got more stuff coming out.

I will say we have a new version of [FEMME FATALE's] 'Falling In And Out Of Love' that was re-recorded with [TRIXTER guitarist and acclaimed producer] Steve Brown and him doing the solo work on it and it's really, really kick-ass.

Also [a new version of FEMME FATALE's] 'Waiting For The Big One', waiting to drop that as well.

I actually did a duet on that song with Leather Leone from CHASTAIN, so it's both of our vocals, and she really brought it.

I'm really excited for people to hear that.

There's a song, a co-write with Tommy Henriksen from Alice Cooper's band — me and Tommy and Steve Brown.

It's a song called 'Somebody'.

It's so hooky.

It's so great.

And I'm gonna be in the studio next week.

I did a song with BLACKLIST UNION singer Tony West.

I don't know if you know that band, but you should definitely check it out.

Hooks for days.

They've released six albums independently.

A really great band.

And I went in the studio and did [a cover of Stevie Nicks's] 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around' with him.

And we're going back in the studio next week.

We're going to be recording 'Jackson' by Johnny Cash and June Carter, but it's really punk rock.

It's like a barn burner.

It's like SOCIAL D[ISTORTION] kind of; it's really hella cool.

And then we have a couple of other surprises.

And then I am working on a song that was written by Michael Caruso, who did some things for the VIXEN band years ago.

And he presented me with a song that, I'm telling you, it's a Grammy-winning song, so I'm gonna be laying down a vocal for that as well… And then in addition, I've been working with a production company in the U.K., doing a documentary about me.

I'm writing a book.

I have no date when it's gonna come out.

I was on my walk this morning and thinking about the mixes and how they're mastered.

Bruno just has this thing that they're crunchy.

The traps are crunchy and there's this frequency that sounds so radio to me.

No matter what the tracks are, there's this thing that he does.

I don't know how he does it.

I just know when I listen to 'Bad Love' or 'Living Like There's No Tomorrow', it's there, this crispness, and it's yummy.

It's radio to my ear, and I just want more of it.

So shout-out to Bruno — great at mix and master.".
