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.' [...] the Empress card is connected to fertility and mothering and strength. It's kind of nice to have those feelings.”On April 2, 2013, her bilingual 4-track EP, "Systems" was released via Double Denim/Terrible… more »

You've gotta feel to let it heal
You've gotta love to rise above
You've gotta scream like there's a dream
In someone's hand, about to crash

When it all builds up inside
Feel the pain you no longer hide
Good morning, you've woken up
You are done conforming
(You've gotta feel)
When your heart starts to realize
And your soul starts to fuel your mind
Feel the movement, you've had enough
Welcome to revolution, oh

You've gotta feel to let it heal
You've gotta love to rise above
You've gotta scream like there's a dream
In someone's hand, about to crash
You've gotta feel to let it heal
You've gotta love to rise above
You've gotta scream like there's a dream
In someone's hand, about to crash

We got a sickness, capitalism
Root of our symptoms
We been conditioned to think it's the system
We gotta fix it
Open your eyes, no dent in the system
Work just right for the people that built it
That's the piece of the puzzle we're missin'
The American Dream really twisted
"Land of the free"
Is what they had written
Think about who was holding the pen then
This exactly what they had envisioned
One percent hold the power position
Call us the thug but watch your tradition
Drink the blood of the people they killin'
"Land of the free"
Is what they had written
"For the rich" is the end of that sentence

Oh, you've gotta feel to let it heal (gotta feel)
You've gotta love to rise above
You've gotta scream like there's a dream (like there's a dream)
In someone's hand, about to crash
You've gotta feel to let it heal (gotta feel)
You've gotta love to rise above (let it)
You've gotta scream like there's a dream
In someone's hand, about to crash

You've gotta feel
Rise above
You've chosen love
Ooh (ooh), woo, woo
Oh, you've gotta feel
