Me is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Lorely Rodriguez, known professionally as Empress Of. It was released on September 11, 2015, by XL Recordings and Terrible Records. Finding her residence of New York as stifling to her creative process, Rodriguez embarked on solo writing retreat to Mexico which granted her the introspection she was seeking. Work on the album continued for a further two years, culminating in a direct approach to her lyrics and production.
