Back in the hair metal heyday of the ‘80s, Lorraine Lewis led powerhouse project Femme Fatale, finding herself scoring international hits and popping up on MTV. Times may have changed, but she hasn’t.
“I am originally from Albuquerque, NM, and I loved to sing,” Lewis says. “I would play my mom’s Stella guitar and write silly songs and perform whenever we had guests over. I put a band together called Babe Ruthless [which] eventually became Femme Fatale, but I left Albuquerque with the keyboard player to move to Los Angeles.”
Femme Fatale’s ‘88 self-titled debut album and “Waiting for the Big One” are genre classics. Sadly, the wheels fell off after the first tour. In 2019, Lewis joined fellow ‘80s band Vixen.
“I brought my A-game to the band, and I know I elevated the brand,” Lewis says. “It was a good run for me, and I’m forever honored and grateful for the opportunity to front that band. But it’s time to get back to being me with Femme Fatale.”
For Lewis, DIY means taking care of business. “I’m the girl who will never stop. I love my tribe on Instagram, and the socials are really important to me... I’ve been in the music biz for decades. I have no plans to stop. I recently went public with my OnlyFans (onlyfans.com/lorrainelewisrocks), and I’m having the best time. People can come talk to me about rock 'n' roll, the music business, or ask for a sexy photo.”
Lewis recently cut David Bowie’s “Heroes” with former Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm. “I can’t wait for people to hear it,” she says. “That’s coming later this year. I have a new all-male lineup of Femme Fatale and can’t wait to share our first single, which is currently being mixed! I have a single coming out with Leather Leone next quarter. In addition to rock ‘n’ roll, I also work in TV as a senior casting director. We’re working on a huge dating show for a major streamer.”
She truly never stops.
