FEMME FATALE

VA - Femme Fatale, History of Women in Popular Music [1997] (3 x CD's)

The Femme Fatale: History of Women in Pop box set collects a wide array of female artists, from divas like Nina Simone to punks like the Slits. Billie Holliday's "Strange Fruit," Mama Cass' "California Dreamin," Nico's "Femme Fatale," and other well-known jazz, pop, and rock tracks are mixed with more obscure songs, such as Twinkle's "Terry," Brix Smith's "Orangania," the Au Pairs' "America," and Lydia Lunch's "Some Velvet Morning." Sandie Shaw, Carole King, Rose Royce, Bel Canto, Danielle Dax, and Michelle Shocked are some of the other women represented on this three-disc set, which ranges from sweet to shocking forms of female expression.
