Empress Of Announces Sophomore Album 'Us'
By Matt Moen
Aug 21, 2018Two and a half years after the release of her critically-acclaimed debut album Me, Lorely Rodriguez (a.k.a. Empress Of), has finally announced her highly anticipated followup, Us.
Rodriguez took to social media yesterday to share the artwork for her second album which will be hitting stores October 19th. The announcement comes on the heels of two new singles, "Trust Me Baby," and, "In Dreams," released earlier this year, as well as collaborations with the LA-producer duo DJDS on their studio third album Big Wave More Fire. If the previous singles are any indication of what to expect, we can look forward to more bilingual songwriting with a sun-soaked downtempo vibe as opposed to the ecstatic bedroom pop of Me.
