‘Femme Fatale’ marks our point of entry into Scirii’s hypnotic artistic universe. Hailing from the UK, the talented songstress champions a quirky, luscious sonic allure, embodying sultry melodies and lyrical decadence all framed into a femininity-driven empowerment charge. Whichever way you look at it, it’s hard to remain neutral to such dark and tender material. That exact dualism particularly strikes us; you’ve got your melancholic gloominess, but wrapped into a soft, graceful production that’s part playful and part hazy.
It’s sort of a balance between darkness and light, only not in a conventional sense. It’s as if Scirii pushes listeners into quieting their voice of reason, helping them succumb to their primal instincts. The British creative seeks to embrace the hidden side of the moon, and we might just follow her. ‘Femme Fatale’ partly confirms that, initiating a chaotic journey through toxic emotions and forbidden thoughts, only to then come out victorious and vindicated.
Built over dreamy and dark indie pop, ‘Femme Fatale’ is Scirii’s second single to date, after ‘The Antagonist’ released earlier this year. We look forward to learning what’s next. For now, here’s what the gifted creative says about ‘Femme Fatale’: “It’s a mirror for a version of myself I used to fear. I’ve learned that empowerment doesn’t come from purity; it comes from embracing your shadows and making art out of them.”
