Femme Fatale

Femme fatale

A femme fatale, sometimes called a maneater, Mata Hari, or vamp, is a stock character: a mysterious, beautiful, and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, deadly traps. She is an archetype of literature and art. Her ability to enchant, entice and hypnotize her victims with a spell was seen in the earliest stories as verging on supernatural; hence, the femme fatale is often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, or witch, having power over men. Femmes fatales, typically villainous, or at least morally ambiguous, always evoke a sense of mystification, and unease.

Femme Fatale (Britney Spears album)

Femme Fatale is the seventh studio album by American singer Britney Spears. It was released on March 25, 2011, by Jive Records, and was her last album with the label before they dissolved in October of the same year, and she was moved to RCA Records. Musically, Spears wanted to make a "fresh-sounding" and "fierce dance album", thus incorporating dance-pop, electropop, EDM and synth-pop styles with elements of dubstep, techno and electro in its sound. Spears began working on the album during the second leg of her tour The Circus Starring Britney Spears (2009), while also contributing to her second greatest hits album The Singles Collection (2009). Spears collaborated with various producers including Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Fraser T. Smith, Rodney Jerkins, Bloodshy, will.i.am, Stargate, and Travis Barker.
