Empress Of

Empress Of, aka Lorely Rodriguez, the Honduran-American musician, takes over the Badaboum in Paris on June 5, 2026. She shapes a bilingual electronic pop that moves between synth-pop, alternative R&B and intimate songwriting, driven by a clear voice and finely honed productions.

After For Your Consideration (2024), she released Blasting Through The Speakers in 2025, an album she steered as executive producer. There she pushes her play with textures and minimalist rhythms further, mixing English and Spanish, with dreamy detours and more direct bursts. The record features collaborations with Khalid, Blood Orange, Shygirl, Lewis OfMan and Boys Noize, without the core—direct melodies and pared-back structures—losing coherence.

On stage, Empress Of alternates between introspective songs and more propulsive numbers, balancing synth layers and supple basslines, all refocused around the voice. Seasoned by opening slots for Lorde, Rina Sawayama and Carly Rae Jepsen and by appearances at festivals like Outside Lands and Austin City Limits, she delivers a compact, precise live show built for club energy. Meet her at the Badaboum for a plunge into her bilingual world, between softness and rhythmic tension.
