Rock artist Lilith Czar has returned with new single “Popsicle.” The song is inspired “by a career spent being told who to be.” It marks Lilith’s first ever independent release, and along with the new track comes a new video featuring one of Lilith’s harrowing personas.

Lilith Czar explains:

‘POPSICLE’ is the breaking point – the moment you stop shrinking, softening, and reshaping yourself into something that isn’t you just to fit someone else’s agenda. It’s a song for every person who has been told their worth is dependent on anything other than their own force. At its core, it’s about obliterating the box you’re told to fit inside and rejecting the expectation to conform. It’s a fuck-you song, and above all, it’s about refusing to compromise your integrity.

As an artist and human being, Lilith Czar “stands in opposition to external pressures.” Her art and music are “a call to adventure, a complete assertion of power and control over one’s own life.”

She adds:

If my story can empower even just one girl picking up a guitar for the first time to believe she belongs in this space or give another artist the courage to stand their ground, then every battle I fought means something bigger than myself. It becomes about us.
