Building around a gentle arpeggiated guitar chord, Cilantro is a haunting slice of ghostly-folk, bringing to mind acts like Marissa Nadler or Lilah Larson. It sounds like a classic 1960’s pop song being covered by the cast of The Wicker Man, and yes it’s as good as that sounds.

“Food Porn” is a song that takes Miss Eaves’ sexual appetite literally, making the seemingly innocent process of cooking a meal into an erotic act: “Rolling around with tomato / My knife hits the juices flow / Lick it, tossing a salad / Put my hands in it.” It’s what Katy Perry’s “Bon Appétit” would’ve been if she didn’t have to pander to radio.

Issa is at home in bed but her dildo needs new batteries. She searches every electronic device she can think of, even the smoke detector, but can’t find any. “Hump Day” by Miss Eaves plays as Issa runs around her apartment. “Take five, slip and slide. All I need to go is one hand.”

Humor plays an equally essential role in Eaves’ music. As a rapper, she doesn’t rely on an agile, rhythmic flow so much as deft manipulation of tone. She can sound streetwise, or summon eye-rolling sarcasm, or simulate private arousal, or adopt a pinched vocal attack that toys with notions of feminine vacuousness. In each and every gesture of playful provocation, she signals to us that she knows what she’s doing.

Everyone ages, people lose and gain weight and there are loads of ways to exist that don’t comply with mainstream beauty standards. It’s O.K. We all deserve to be as visible as we want to be. So, bye h8ters.

Today, Miss Eaves drops another contender for summer anthem, the third single from her upcoming album Feminasty. “Fuccboi Salute” is a clever, no-bullshit, party-friendly number that sends a message to “all these little fuccbois.” (The message is “fuccbois get no love,” if that isn’t clear.)

“Thunder Thighs” is the handiwork of Miss Eaves, the alter ego of Brooklyn multimedia artist Shanthony Exum. Her work, which includes rap, photography, illustration and graphic design, centers on themes she describes as politically progressive and feminist.

BUST has the exclusive premiere of Kim Boekbinder’s video for “Head Bitch In Charge (H.B.I.C.),” and this is sure to be your power anthem and fashion inspiration for the summer.

One of the finest albums of the year. Pure Americana at its absolute best.

Think of Mansions as the album you put on when you’ve finally cleared the party of people you invited because you had to, and you start breaking out the good beer from the fridge in the basement. Future Lives make music for solid evening hangs.
