Dreamy Future Pop from Empress of [stream]

23-year-old Brooklyn songstress Empress Of (Lorely Rodriguez) may only have three official singles and a collection of odd YouTube snippets, collectively named “colorminutes,” but she has yet to disappoint us with her cleverly synthesized pop arrangements. “Hat Trick,” the latest single off the forthcoming debut EP Systems, foreshadows a collection of stunning, shimmery moments that manage to avoid over-earnestness (no small feat in independent pop).  Check out the single above and listen to another ’80s-referencing slow jam, “Don’t Tell Me,” below.

Systems is out 4/20 via Terrible Records/Double Denim.
