A few things to love about Los Angeles: low-rider cars, roadside taco stands, and, come awards season, the omnipresent “For Your Consideration” billboards that pitch a show, album, or movie to win their respective trophies. Nobody knows this better than lifelong L.A. resident Lorely Rodriguez, also known as Empress Of. The indie-pop darling’s latest record, For Your Consideration, is her take on what it means to have your full self considered in all of its guises. Songs like “What Type of Girl Am I?” and “Lorelei” ask self-reflexive questions begging for answers; others, like “Fácil” and “Cura,” look to the dance floor, relying on Latin pop beats courtesy of some of the most creative producers in underground electronic music right now. The almost genreless record is so wildly catchy and remarkable in scope – all of the percussion on the record is actually Rodriguez’s voice – that Switched On Pop host Nate Sloan and producer Reanna Cruz had to consider For Your Consideration with Empress Of herself in the City of Angels. As she told us about the new album, “I’m just trying to make music that sounds like me.”
