Lily Frost shares "Nightbird–Lilith" in advance of Castro's show, Nov 16

Lily Frost will be performing her new single "Nightbird-Lilith" at Castro's Lounge on Sunday at 8 pm. 

Here's the press release...

Toronto chanteuse, songwriter, performer, producer, and radio host Lily Frost is bringing myth to music with the release of her new single "NIGHTBIRD-LILITH" (via KMG Distribution) today (Friday, November 14th).

She'll be performing the song, along with originals and vintage covers accompanied by her Right-Hand Men at Castro's Lounge (2116 Queen St East) on Sunday, November 16th at 8:00 pm, The song will be out on all major platforms. Check it out below. 

The scrappy pagan feel of "NIGHTBIRD-Lilith" rides on an acoustic guitar riff and hand drum and is produced to bring elements of Celtic mystique through harp, accordion, percussion, and Lily's stark vocals. Frost honours the glory and ubiquity of the feminine divine: whether siren, demon, goddess, or nightbird, who "lives within you" and offers "refuge in the night." The subject matter is unintentionally timely, with the recent release of a documentary about Sarah McLachlan's feminine-positive Lilith Fair festival of the 1990s.

Lily Frost has earned her place in Canada's music scene elite, moving deftly from jazz to Latin to pop to balladry, with the ease and fluidity of an expert vocalist. Constantly evolving as an artist, Frost had this to say about the new single: "'Nightbird-Lilith' was born out of a year of deep study. After spending a year immersed in the history of pre-Christian goddesses from pagan Celtic and Greco-Roman traditions, I found myself deeply drawn to the exploration of the feminine divine. I wanted to resurrect the myth of Lilith - now a feminist icon (who refused to lie beneath Adam), and the woman who came before Eve - and bring her voice to life in this song."
