about
Empress Of is an American singer, songwriter, and producer based in Los Angeles. She first gained attention in 2012 by anonymously releasing a series of one-minute demos on YouTube titled Colorminutes. Her first 7" single, "Champagne," was released later that year through No Recordings. Her stage name was inspired by a tarot card reading: the first card pulled was The Empress, associated with fertility, strength, and creativity. Her debut album, Me (2015), was self-produced and recorded in Mexico, featuring the singles "Water Water" and its Spanish version "Agua Agua." The album blends minimalist electronic pop with introspective lyrics, exploring themes of love, identity, and self-expression. Her sophomore album, Us (2018), includes collaborations with Dev Hynes and DJDS and presents a more collaborative approach than her debut. The record combines electronic pop, R&B, and experimental elements, focusing on themes of community, love, and personal growth. Her third studio album, I'm Your Empress Of (2020), showcases a polished, emotionally resonant sound, merging pop experimentalism, dance-pop, and R&B. Lyrically, it addresses heartbreak, identity, and resilience, pairing introspective storytelling with rhythmic, danceable production. Her fourth high-anticipated studio album, For Your Consideration (2024), was released via her own label Major Arcana with distribution from Giant Music. Produced across Los Angeles, Miami, and Montreal with contributions from Nick León, Umru
