Sep 18, 2015Me is both a fabulous anthology of boisterous pop songs, and a timely, revelatory album for a lot of people to live vicariously through.
-
Sep 8, 2015For the most part, Me is a requiem for a doomed romance, and the greatest measure of Rodriguez's confidence is just how candid and vulnerable she allows herself to be here.
-
Dec 7, 2015Me is a brilliantly confident album that fulfills--and builds upon--Rodriguez’s early promise. Recommended.
-
Nov 2, 2015Empress Of tackles heartbreak and passion through a refreshingly feminist lens. Girl power never sounded so good.
-
Sep 17, 2015At a time when Carly Rae Jepsen is turning to members of Vampire Weekend for new ideas, Empress Of’s self-produced music feels like a small victory for the future of pop.
-
Sep 9, 2015Smartly and shrewdly, Empress Of provides the neatness of pop minus the reassurance.
-
Sep 8, 2015It's a thoroughly considered record, demonstrating that Rodriguez's personal and artistic growth are far from mutually exclusive.
-
Sep 8, 2015Self-produced and written almost entirely while isolated in a lake house outside of Mexico City, Me is Rodriguez' most fully-formed artistic statement yet, an intensely personal, self-assured outing that cements her as a powerhouse producer, sonically harkening back to her Colorminutes days and establishing her as an expert songwriter.
-
Sep 10, 2015Every song has key x-factors that transform already solid works into longer-lasting excitement.
-
Sep 8, 2015The dancefloor-friendly tracks seem to have a classy tech-house shuffle rather than an overblown EDM pomposity, giving weight to her lyrics rather than distracting from them.
