Creatrx - dirt. honey. glitter. water. (EP)

Citing Kelis, Santigold and M.I.A. as their “holy trinity” alongside funk icon Betty Davis and OutKast as well as punk and Black house music, Creatrx’s EP forms itself as a unique melting pot of genres, ideas and messages, born from a diverse wealth of influences and life experience – helmed by the non-binary artist with EZRA OST and teddy NBD.

Described as “a mixtape for bad bitches who like plants”, the title dirt. honey. glitter. water derives from the core elements used in African religions and African magic and is explored during the opening number “primordial”, with the overall EP serving as an insight into life as a Black non-binary person in modern society.

Marked by the singles “RUN”, the sex-positive “sunday” and non-binary anthem “experience”, dirt. honey. glitter. water is a unique melting pot of genres, ideas and messages, born from a diverse wealth of influences and life experience: “the world wasn’t working for us, so we created our own… for outcasts and queers, for misunderstood Black girls.” Offering a final message of hope for the future is the EP’s closing track “seeds”, which Creatrx says serves as a moment to remember and have reverence for the wisdom and love of ancestors that believed in Black futurity.
