Empress Of is Back With Dramatic New Track ‘Save Me’

Empress Of has released her first new music of 2022, and you can check out the video for her new single ‘Save Me’ below.

The pop artist, whose real name is Lorely Rodriguez, last released a single in May of last year with ‘One Breath,’ a song that was released as part of the ‘Sound It Out’ initiative, which aims to educate young people about mental health.

In a statement about the new song, Rodriguez said: “This is probably one of my favourite songs I have ever made. I’ve never put live strings on a recording before, it was very emotional. There’s a sexual urgency. There’s a power play. I think it’s one of the sexiest songs I’ve made.”

Below is the video for the song, which was directed by Alexis Gómez.

Empress Of and Amber Mark released a new collaborative single, ‘You’ve Got To Feel,’ in October. 

The singer, whose real name is Lorely Rodriguez, had previously released her third album, ‘I’m Your Empress Of.’ NME gave the album a five-star review, writing: “Rodriguez has turned heartbreak into a glorious 30 minutes of club-ready electro-smashes. ‘I’m Your Empress Of’ is nothing short of breathtaking.”

The review added: “Whilst her debut, 2015’s ‘Me’, and its follow-up, 2018’s ‘Us’, felt painstakingly planned, ’I’m Your Empress Of’ is more immediate. Lyrics aren’t flowery or overdone, and instead succinctly sum up the emotions Rodriguez was feeling when she wrote them.”
