[Verse 1: Ishtar Sr.] I was asleep in Sumerian linens And during the slumber saw various visions Only myself, no witness Save for numerous sightings of goddesses and feminine figures posturing Venomous vixens gossiping whether the witch will ponder this lesson that Ishtar promises You better follow it Maybe explains your calm demeanour That makes you portray yourself sleepier Shape your perspective of existence The siren moans are deafening, listen [Verse 2: Ishtar Sr.] They told me of society's judgements They told me the way that I fuck does not function They told me of one love that's sadomasochistic Another love shown to hide lies so convincing Collection of stories all bound in one album They say it produce the most astounding of outcomes From Ishtar to dystopian versions of homeland All shall be revealed upon commencing the program [Verse 3: Des Jay] I used to stand upright and speak with defiant tones That was until Ishtar led me to these quite unknown territories with stories 'bout how in the past horizons shone With the light and warmth of a den, much like a lion's home Prided me to believe I wasn't one of a tyrant's drones So I had to break off and resemble a titan lone That's when she took me by the hand and displayed to me this vibrant show The peak of perfection, the siren's moan [Instrumental Bridge: House Fire] [Verse 4: Ishtar Sr.] That romp's got me on the ropes Their suave locks like caramel flows Like "got you, I'll hop along" Your energy - no need for objects That not-so-primal need the topic Can’t wait till we repeat the process Prelude to 4:30, when I turned whore flirty Lordosis form certy Certy, certy, certy, certy... [Chorus: Ishtar Sr.] Tryna make a fuckshack work Which one off us acts jerk? (aw aw) Who’s gonna bust that work? Who’s gonna bust back first? Who’s gonna bust back first? Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa Tryna make a fuckshack work Which one off us acts jerk? (aw aw) Tryna make a fuckshack work Who’s gonna bust back first? Who’s gonna bust back first? Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa Tryna make a fuckshack work Which one off us acts jerk? (aw aw) Tryna make a fuckshack work Who’s gonna bust back first? Who’s gonna bust back first? Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa Tryna make a fuckshack work Which one off us acts jerk? (aw aw) Tryna make a fuckshack work Who’s gonna bust back first? Who’s gonna bust back first? Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa Thrust back, thrust back, thrust back, whoa

Malevolent spectre ghosting I step to your benefit, so kid It’s my duty to bring you Ishtar Send them the reverence soaked in The sweet saccharine taste of humble “But it’s two slaps in the face to us though” Well if you chatter and fake the tough bro The bitch tooth dagger and saber hunt both You gonna try to disrobe me like the Seven Gates? Oh that ain’t shit to demonstrate Cause if you fail in any way You’ll meet the bull of heaven’s fate A Mesopotamian goddess, dog? Aint the safest dame to start shit on Look at all the chaos that all this caused That shit is wacker than Colin Cros...

about

The debut EP from Ishtar Sr. - a short yet jampacked serving of interplanetary hip pop tunes.

As Ishtar Sr. I write and compose songs about love, sex, identity, autonomy, and conflict in a futuristic age. Reclamations of life from oppressive structures. Dissolution of norms that seek to confine and strangle. Plus they're bops :)

"I am embarking on a new journey outside of my given name. A journey of discovery and expression, a journey of the exploration of mythology. A journey that embraces every corner of my sexuality and queer identity. A journey that explores with liberation & autonomy in mind. This EP is the first dive into these concepts.

From the psychedelic vocal melodies of "Simplicity II" to the calm futuristic knock of "Sheets", Ishtar Sr. brings pop and alternative R&B to a completely new realm - radical insight included."
