For Your Consideration (Deluxe Pt. 1) PRE-SAVE/ORDER: https://found.ee/FYCDeluxe
“Femenine” feat. Urias (Maffalda Remix) https://found.ee/FemenineRemix
(September 6th, 2024) - Today, Empress Of announces For Your Consideration (Deluxe Part 1) due September 13th, a remix version of her critically acclaimed album For Your Consideration released this past March via Giant Music. To celebrate the project’s imminent arrival next week, the artist shares a first taste of the deluxe bundle with a Maffalda remix of album track “Femenine” featuring futurist Brazilian artist Urias. The result is a blistering hot take on the infectious banger that as Harper’s Bazaar noted, “mirrors exactly where [Empress Of is] at – empowered, embodied, wholly realized,” while expanding on the artist’s expert world-building and commanding auteurship.
For Your Consideration, a follow-up to 2020’s I’m Your Empress Of and 2022’s Save Me EP, is a bi-lingual album that embraces camp and fantasy playing with the idea of Hollywood. Lorely wrote the album in LA, Miami, and Montreal, and worked with a collection of songwriters and producers, including Nick León, Billboard, Valley Girls, Cecile Believe, and Umru. The album sees Empress Of taking on the role of executive producer. Inspired by vocal music, she infuses each track with layers of her voice which serve as the drum beats, the bass, and the keyboard lines, with ASMR breathing surfacing throughout the album. The songs reflect on the transactional nature of love and sex, which is mirrored by the ephemeral sense of existence in the entertainment industry.
Following the album’s release this past spring and quickly selling out her first run of shows, Empress Of granted fans’ wishes by announcing a full North American, UK and EU tour. Launching September 24th in San Diego, Empress Of will be taking her catalog on the road with live dates in Washington D.C., New York, Boston, and Montreal among others before heading across the pond for the European and UK leg. Check out a preview of what’s in store with Empress Of’s KEXP performance now live here.
Empress Of has collaborated with Top 40 pop artists like Khalid, cultural icons like Blood Orange, Lewis OfMan, DJ legend Boyz Noise, and many more. Last year the singer-songwriter also opened for Carly Rae Jepsen on her North American tour in addition to wowing audiences at festivals like Outside Lands and Corona Capital.
