Empress Of is a new "project of sight + sound" from Brooklyn's Lorely Rodriguez. She's caused a small stir here and in other places over the last week or so with her enchanting, anonymously-uploaded "colorminutes," a set of fleeting but beautiful glimpses at Empress Of's playfully intriguing pop that is certainly worth your next 13+ minutes.The soaring "Don't Tell Me" is the first full track to be unveiled from the project, and it firmly establishes the fact that Empress Of has more to offer than just mystery:
