Empress Of announces her new album, For Your Consideration
Musician and producer Empress Of has announced her new album, For Your Consideration, alongside a new single "What's Love" featuring queer icons, and Saddest Factory Records-signees, MUNA.
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. She 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 evolved out of the title track, which she conjured out of the midst of disappointment.
Empress Of shares, "I was in love with a director and he was announcing his ‘For Your Consideration’ campaign for the Oscars,” she remembers. “He took me up on a hill and said he was emotionally unavailable and he kind of broke my heart. I went into the studio that day and we wrote a song called ‘For Your Consideration’ that reflects on glam and Hollywood. That was the gateway for the album and it gave me the opportunity to explore broader themes."
"What's Love" reflects on the significance of unrequited love and follows previous singles "Femenine", which came with a music video directed and choreographed by Ryan Heffington (Emmy for work on Euphoria, MTV VMA for Sia's "Chandelier"), and "Kiss Me", featuring Rina Sawayama, all of which are included on the forthcoming album.
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, which veer between English and Spanish, reflect on the transactional nature of love and sex, which is mirrored by the ephemeral sense of existence in the entertainment industry.
