That\u2019s just the imagery female rap duo FEMM have tapped into for their latest video of their latest single <em>Come&amp;Go<\/em> but far from being retro, it\u2019s set in a dystopian vision of Tokyo that\u2019s beamed back as if from some far distant future.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The very Idea of FEMM (it stands for Far East Mention Mannequins) is very alluring. Two Mannequins, RiRi and LuLa (controlled by Honey-B and W-Trouble respectively), are railing against a patriarchal society with their message of girl power and feminism (their 2015 single was titled <em>FxxK Boyz Get Money<\/em>). However, there\u2019s been quite a shift in FEMM\u2019s style, it\u2019s less ex-Machina and has been fully upgraded to 2.0. Where previously their movements were quite constrained now they\u2019re looser and more lithe but long term fans shouldn\u2019t worry too much as there\u2019s still that ex-Machina feel, especially in the video, it\u2019s just less pronounced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FEMM \/ Come &amp; Go (Vertical Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zLThXNKL5kk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Musically too FEMM have evolved. From the purely electronic dance music flavour of their 2014 debut <em>FEMM-Isation<\/em> they grown in scope to include elements of hip-hop, electronica and Eurodance and <em>Come&amp;Go<\/em> will appeal equally to fans of any of those genres. Against an animated, post-apocalyptic backdrop RiRi and LuLa move in a far more organic manner, gone are the deliberate robotic movements, as they deliver an earworm of the highest order that\u2019ll slowly entwine itself around your memory bank.<\/p>\n<p>The aptly titled <em>Come&amp;Go<\/em> finds FEMM moving in a new more biotic, natural direction.
