Empress Of

Empress Of is the solo musical project of Los Angeles-based, Latin American singer-songwriter, Lorely Rodriguez. She gained attention in 2012 for anonymously releasing a series of 1 minute-long demos (via YouTube) prefaced only by a solid color entitled "Colorminutes". Her first 7" single, "Champagne" was released soon after on November 5, 2012 through a limited run via No Recordings.Lorely's stage name was inspired by a tarot card reading she did with a friend: “The first card he pulled out was an Empress card and I was like, 'It's me, I am Empress.'

I wasn't trying
I wasn't trying to meet anyone
I wasn't dying
I wasn't dying to get heartbroken

Take my breath away
Made me feel safe
Made me escape
Made me wanna cave

I wasn't trying
I wasn't trying to love from the start

If a love can't make you
Break you
Shape you
Then what's love? Oh
If a love can't make you
Break you
Shape you
Then what's love? Oh

I was just playing
I was just playing the game 'til you won
I'm not the same
I'm not the same and I don't wish I was

Knocked me off my feet
Felt incomplete
Caught me off guard
Hands on my knees
I was just playing
I was just playing the game 'til you won

If a love can't make you
Break you
Shape you
Then what's love? Oh
If a love can't make you
Break you
Shape you
Then what's love? Oh

Tell me, is it dangerous that you're my safety?
Tell me, is it bad that I'm letting you change me?
I didn't want to have someone that I need
But if this isn't love, can you tell me what love means?
(But if this isn't love)
Tell me what love means
(But if this isn't, but if this isn't, but if this isn't)
