Jola Recchioni wrote both the music and the lyrics of the song, and the guitars are played by Oliver

McKiernan who also produced the album. Jola says: “I wanted to create a blues rock track with a

good rhythm and with a bit of a mysterious and dramatic vibe to it, and the subject of the

Femme Fatale certainly has got it- the curse of Femme Fatale! I always love to include a bit of drama

in all my albums. I hope the end result is a track which is exciting and entertaining to listen to!”

By the end of this Eon, In pursuit of the Brother of Leon

The Ringflowers will Bloom (L.?)
