Mon Laferte had so much to say, that her acclaimed 2025 album Femme Fatale was not enough.
On Friday (June 12), the Chilean-Mexican singer-songwriter released Femme Fatale Vol. 2 (Sony Music Latin), featuring 20 new songs in which she continues to tackle themes like emotional dependency, trauma, father relationships, politics and motherhood, with an ethereal, more eclectic sound.
Femme Fatale Vol. 2 arrives only eight months after Femme Fatale, a poetic and dark exploration of femininity, desire and vulnerability in which the author of hits like “Amárrame” and “Tu Falta de Querer” blended jazz with alternative pop and vintage sounds.
Produced by Mon Laferte alongside Manu Jalil, with some tracks co-produced by Rick Nowels, the new set — her tenth studio project — incorporates elements of blues, folk, punk and alt-rock. It opens with “For Your Consideration,” a reflection on fame born from voice notes on her phone (“I don’t like admitting that I’ve become a commodity,” she sings). The set closes with “Gigante,” an emotional track she wrote nearly two decades ago at age 26, after undergoing a thyroid surgery that put her voice at risk.
The album features three collaborations: “Eterno Resplandor de Una Mente Sin Recuerdos” with Chilean artist Javiera Electra, “Quién Soy Yo Cuando No Estoy Contigo” with Mexican artist GRTSCH and “While I’ll Keep Writing Songs for You” with American singer-songwriter St. Vincent (their second collaboration following “Tiempos Violentos” from 2025). Lead single “A pesar de ti y de mí” was released this week along with its music video.
