Empress is the fifth studio album by Nigerian singer Yemi Alade, released by Effyzzie Music Group on 20 November 2020.

The album features collaborations with Dadju, Vegedream, Patoranking, Rudeboy, Estelle, and Mzansi Youth Choir.

[5] The album features guest appearances from French singers Vegedream and Dadju, and Nigerian artistes Patoranking and Rudeboy.

The second track is "Yoyoyo" built in highlife from southeastern Nigeria; Alade fantasizes about a typical Nigerian play boy and college scarlet girl.

"Rain", the thirteenth track, features the Mzansi Youth Choir from South Africa; an African gospel music Alade sings about unison.

"Weekend" features the British Grammy-winning singer Estelle; Alade takes a break from her regular Pan-African sounds in this track.

Alade uses electronic highlife and coupé décalé originating from Cote d'Ivoire to express joy for her achievements.
