Bold and bewitching, rock artist Lilith Czar is excited to share a brand new music video for her latest single “POPSICLE”. The track – Lilith’s first as an independent artist – has captivated listeners with its unbridled fury and uncompromising artistry. With its release last week fans caught a glimpse of Lilith as the Banshee; now she returns as the bride with a Frankenstein twist.
“‘The Portrait’ video for ‘POPSICLE’ was inspired by Poe’s The Oval Portrait – a story about obsession and how it drains the life from everything it touches,” shares Lilith. “In the video, I’m posing for a portrait, clearly the antithesis of what’s being painted, but it doesn’t matter. They only ever saw what they wanted to see.”
She continues: “The Bride of Frankenstein look is symbolic; she was created without consent, expected to submit, and chose defiance. Ultimately, the fundamental refusal to see the subject at all results in the slow suffocation of spirit, until nothing remains but a hollow echo of what was once alive. This is about creative control, autonomy, and the fight to hold onto who you are.”
About Lilith Czar:
Rejection, manipulation, and attempts to control are potent motivators for creative artists with the endurance and determination to rise above. Sometimes, you must burn it all down and build again.
When a record label executive suggested she sit astride a giant popsicle in a bikini on her album cover, Lilith Czar bet on herself instead. Burning with passion derived from a strong-willed authenticity built on her terms, she doubled down on her core identity, standing up for herself with undeterred resolve.
“The only way forward was to stop listening, tear it down, and build something new on my terms,” she says. “It wasn’t a reinvention; it was a revolution of self. Songs like ‘King’ and ‘Anarchy’ were direct rejections of the limitations imposed on me, declarations of who I was and where I was headed.”
Independent, resilient, and brimming with more vibrant creativity than ever, she is unbeaten by those who told her she was too young, too old, too chubby, too thin, too sexy, too plain. Or that her music needed to be safer, more palatable, and more like the mainstream. “Who I truly am never seemed enough for them,” she says. “No matter what I offered, they made every effort to change me.”
Lilith Czar first rose like a dark phoenix from the ashes of Juliet Simms. Her debut album, Created From Filth and Dust, announced her arrival with an otherworldly thunder. “Anarchy” shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock recurrent chart. Songs like “Lola” and “100 Little Deaths” gave a literal voice to every girl and boy who ever yearned to beat the odds and be a “King.”
Propelled by her soulful and timeless voice, Lilith’s confessional and confrontational hard-edged rock songs began to resonate worldwide. Major rock festivals were conquered. Crowds sang along in theaters and clubs, whether on tour with Evanescence; or Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, and The Warning; or the Trinity Of Terror Tour with Black Veil Brides, Motionless In White, and Ice Nine Kills.
But with each victory came the familiar obstacles, the same opposition that inspired the ambitious Warped Tour heroine and The Voice finalist to transform into Lilith Czar in the first place.
Lilith gathered a handful of trusted collaborators to start work on a batch of new material. Those allies include Erik Ron (Godsmack, Staind, Panic! At The Disco), Curtis Peoples (Pierce The Veil), kodeblooded (Sueco, Magnolia Park), and Scott Stevens (who produced Created from Filth and Dust).
Lilith Czar’s journey continues with more truth, fire, and fearlessness than ever before.
