    Me is both a fabulous anthology of boisterous pop songs, and a timely, revelatory album for a lot of people to live vicariously through.

    For 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.

    It's a thoroughly considered record, demonstrating that Rodriguez's personal and artistic growth are far from mutually exclusive.

    Self-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.

    Smartly and shrewdly, Empress Of provides the neatness of pop minus the reassurance.

    Me is a brilliantly confident album that fulfills--and builds upon--Rodriguez’s early promise. Recommended.

    The 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.
