Lily Frost celebrates the release of her new single "NIGHTBIRD-LILITH"

(Indie release - KMG Distribution) with a new video out on YouTube on

December 12th. The single's out now on all major platforms. For more

information please visit her website: lilyfrost.com

"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 Frost's stark, powerful 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."

In the spirit of the song, the video, produced by Jason Ball, for

"Nightbird-Lilith" focuses on imagery of both the moon and the forest,

symbols of the divine feminine that have extended from ancient times right

through today. Across many cultures, the moon symbolizes the divine

feminine, its ebb and flow linked to intuition, change, fertility, and the

subconscious, and its mysterious, reflective, and rhythmic nature to inner

wisdom, emotional balance, and feminine power. The imagery includes a red

"blood moon," which sometimes stands for renewal and spiritual power, and a

blue moon, which resonates with the concepts of growth and wisdom.

Similarly, forest symbology is primarily rooted in the historical and

cultural associations of women with nature, fertility, transformation, and

wild, untamed power, and appears in mythology, literature, and eco-feminist

philosophy. A highlight in the video comes when Frost raises her arms and

while cloaked in the white faux fur coat, her arms look like angelic wings

as though she embodies Lilith in joyous flight, rising to glorious freedom.

Constantly evolving as an artist, Frost says "'Nightbird-Lilith' was born

out of deep study, spending a year immersed in the history of pre-Christian

goddesses from pagan Celtic and Greco-Roman traditions. I found myself

wholly 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." Frost gives voice to the strength of the sacred feminine

and celebrates the power of sovereignty, and the truth that lives inside us.
