Like all of the best funk records, however, it isn’t the genre’s sonic clichés that make it so thrilling but its lyrics, moving from tongue-in-cheek innuendos one minute to something deeply personal the next. Just take’s second single, “Princess Pouty.” “That song is about encouragement, empowerment, and telling yourself that you are the shit,” Isiah explains. “But it’s also just about pouting and being a little bitch because sometimes people don’t realize that you’re the shit.
Even though the project was planned long before the global swell of support for the Black Lives Matter movement this year as a tribute to the Black women who serve as pillars of their communities, it’s something Isiah feels grateful to be putting out into the world right now. “The music speaks to the climate that we’re in, so I’m thankful that it’s parallel,” he says.
