Empress Of

Empress Of plays The White Hotel in Salford on 31 May 2026. Under this moniker, Los Angeles-born Honduran-American artist Lorely Rodriguez sculpts a bilingual pop that slips between synth-pop, alt R&B and a lean club sensibility. Her songs balance intimate writing with stripped-back production: bright synths, clipped drums, basslines that carry the groove, and a voice placed right up front. Live, she moves easily from English to Spanish, tightening the emotion of the hooks without overloading the arrangements, letting rhythm and melody do the work.

The set draws from across her catalogue. Me laid the foundations with concise, minimal tracks; Us opened the frame to warmer, more immediate pop and subtle Latin pulses; I’m Your Empress Of pushed the bilingual dialogue further, from introspection to dancefloor release; For Your Consideration kept the precision of her electronics while sharpening the contours of desire, independence and self-portrait. Expect a show that threads these chapters into a clear line, with agile transitions, tactile beats and the directness that defines Empress Of’s songwriting.
