Empress Of releases ‘Us,’ announces tour, on new MØ LP

Empress Of‘s anticipated sophomore album Us is out today on Terrible Records, and it’s very worth hearing. It’s got a similar appeal to the art pop of her 2015 debut Me, but some new stuff too, including that she sings in Spanish a few times. Listen to the whole album below.

Along with the album release, Empress Of announced that she’ll support it on a 2019 international tour. The tour kicks off in DC on 2/18, and then makes its way to Brooklyn on February 22 at Elsewhere Hall. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, October 26 at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

Empress Of also sings on another new album that’s out today, MØ‘s Forever Neverland. Empress Of is on “Red Wine,” and the album also features songs with Charli XCX and Diplo. You can hear the whole thing below. MØ is also going on a 2019 tour, including a Governors Ball-presented NYC show on January 19 at Hammerstein Ballroom. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, October 26 at 10 AM with a BrooklynVegan presale starting Wednesday, October 24 at 10 AM (check back then for the password).
