It's safe to say, in the wake of the success of artists like Lorde and Icona Pop, that we're currently in the midst of a girl-pop revolution, and hot on the heels of this trend is Femme, a 25-year-old from London who cites her inspirations as a "proper mishmash" of Motown and Destiny's Child. "I only started messing around with music when I was 16," she said yesterday while waiting for a flight to New York, where she performs tonight at the Mercury Lounge, the second stop on her debut United States tour. For me, making music was always just for fun. Femme's mere hobby turned into something more last year when she joined the band Ultraísta alongside the Radiohead producing veteran Nigel Godrich and the drummer Joey Waronker, who has sat in with the likes of Beck and R.E.M. Though Ultraísta achieved success in their native Britain, Femme, whose real name is Laura Bettinson, is now branching out on her own. "What you're getting with my music is 100 percent my vision," she explained. Indeed, her fun, addictive tracks - like her latest single, "Fever Boy," streaming here - stay true to her stage name. "The shows are a real punch of girl power," she said, alluding to tonight's gig in Manhattan and tomorrow's at Brooklyn's Glasslands. It's definitely a party set. I'm really looking forward to it.
