(Oct 2nd 2025) - Today, Empress Of is back with a new single “Blasting Through The Speakers.” The new song, co-produced by Empress Of and Mike Sabath (Raye, Shawn Mendes), comes on the heels of a difficult year following the tumult of the Altadena fires and is a pop song full of satisfying release. “Every single sound / Is getting me through / I’ve been fucking down / For a while / I’m not gonna drown when I’m floating in you.”
Speaking about the single Empress Of shares, “I’m very excited to share this song with the world. This year I learned a lot about the things that matter. Music has always been one of those things. After the fires in Altadena, I couldn’t make music for some time. I was afraid to go there. When I made this song, it felt like music was a friend I hadn’t talked to in a while, but was always there to pick up the phone. Thank you for listening to me all these years. Thank you music for always being there.”
Empress Of is heading on tour with Lorde for a string of North America dates beginning next week in Atlanta with shows in Los Angeles, Berkeley, Portland, Seattle and more.
The new single opens up a new chapter for Empress Of and follows her celebrated album For Your Consideration via Giant Music, a bi-lingual album named Best New Music by Pitchfork who described the record as “dazzling.” The album embraced camp and fantasy and saw Empress Of taking on the role of executive producer. Empress Of has collaborated with Top 40 pop artists like Khalid, cultural icons like Blood Orange, Shygirl, Lewis OfMan, DJ legend Boyz Noise, and many more. She’s also opened for Rina Sawayama and Carly Rae Jepsen on their North American tours in addition to wowing audiences at festivals like Outside Lands, Austin City Limits, Portola and Corona Capital.
