Mon Laferte Unveils ‘Femme Fatale,’ a 14-Track, Jazz-Tinged Reinvention

She recasts the femme fatale archetype as a statement of female freedom, featuring collaborations with Nathy Peluso, Natalia Lafourcade and Silvana Estrada.

Overview

  • The album rolls out this week following press events in Mexico City, marking a darker, more introspective phase for the Chilean singer-songwriter.
  • The 14 tracks blend jazz spirit with alternative pop and include guest appearances from Nathy Peluso, Natalia Lafourcade, Silvana Estrada, Tiago Iorc and Conociendo Rusia.
  • Mon Laferte highlights emotionally raw pieces, noting that “Veracruz” honors the late César Ceja and that “Uno Treinta” confronts violence over free‑jazz textures.
  • The project’s visual identity was created with photographer Neil Krug, with the cover shot in a vintage hotel in Mexico City’s Tabacalera neighborhood.
  • She signals more videos, a live session filmed in a bathroom with the full band, plans to take the album on tour in 2026, and arrives at November’s Latin Grammys with two nominations.
