    A fresh and bold indie-pop gem, Empress Of’s newest album delivers eclectic, pulsating, dance-oriented music - with hints of Bjork, Maggie Rogers, The Japanese House, HAIM, Charli XCX, Grimes, and FKA Twigs. There’s not a dull song on the record; from beginning to end it’s a thrilling listen that easily rivals the work of the artist’s contemporaries and influences.

    Una agradable bienvenida después de su algo mediocre Pop del 2018 en su álbum "Us". Feliz de darle una oportunidad más, Lorely Rodriguez, de Honduras, regresa con un álbum definitivamente entretenido, divertido y empoderado. La producción logran una dinámica que le agregan la muy importante intensidad y sensibilidad a un proyecto que honra a la mujer y la familia de forma personal. Junto a BJ Burton, Empress Of ha hecho un álbum que no necesariamente cae en el cliché y, al contrario, se siente fresco y autentico.

    A nice welcome after her kind of mediocre Pop of 2018 with her album "Us". Happy to give her a second chance, Lorely Rodriguez, from Honduras, comes back with a definitively entertaining, fun, and empowered album. The production achieves a dynamic that provides the important intensity and sensibility in a project that honors women and family in a personal way. Along with BJ Burton, Empress Of has made an album that doesn't necessarily fall in cliche Pop, and, on the contrary, it feels fresh and authentic.    … Expand

    There's not a bad song on the album, it feels very cohesive, and each song stands by itself

    Lorely is one of the most promising girls we have, totally underrated. This album is her most personal work, where she reveals all the thoughts after a breakup during a tour. Thanks to the different experiences she had working along artists of great stature such as MØ or Khalid, she affirms a fresher and retro pop identity [yes, she joined the throwback style, but it DID work for her].Lorely is one of the most promising girls we have, totally underrated.

    A true return to form after a more commercial/mainstream sounding sophomore album, the album is full of dance music which feels nostalgic, yet fresh.

    A bold and entrancing set of songs, it’s hard not to see what a big leap forward she took on this album.

    With unexpected production and left-field samples, Rodriguez’s album is powered by a heady rawness that bucks the trend for theatrical concepts in today’s electronic pop nonconformists, producing epiphanies like hot stones spat from a fire. You could say it is as addictive as modern love.

    Rodriguez digs deeper into rave and party culture here. [Jun 2020, p.97]
