#Empress Of announces new album, shares MUNA collaboration “What’s Love”

Empress Of has shared “What’s Love,” a new song written and recorded with MUNA. The track will appear on Empress Of’s new album For Your Consideration, which will be released on March 22 via Giant Music. Scroll down to hear “What’s Love” now.

For Your Consideration is the fourth Empress Of album and her first since I’m Your Empress Of was released in 2020. In addition to “What’s Love,” the album also includes the singles “Femenine” and “Kiss Me” featuring Rina Sawayama. Producers on the album, which features songs in English and Spanish, include Nick León and Umru.

In a statement, Empress Of explained the significance of the album title. “I was in love with a director and he was announcing his ‘For Your Consideration’ campaign for the Oscars,” she said. “He took me up on a hill and said he was emotionally unavailable and he kind of broke my heart. I went into the studio that day and we wrote a song called ‘For Your Consideration’ that reflects on glam and Hollywood. That was the gateway for the album and it gave me the opportunity to explore broader themes.”

In addition to the album details, Empress Of has also announced three North American tour dates. She is due to perform in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto later this year.
