Marking her first solo release in several years, Lilith Czar returns with a vengeance on her explosive new track, “POPSICLE.” From the first brutal lines—“You two-faced son of a bitch/You fucking make me sick”—Czar leaves no room for misinterpretation.

It’s a song for every person who’s been told their worth depends… Read more »

The song dives into that pain, but it’s also about facing the truth, even when it hurts, and realizing not everyone is who they say they are.” He concludes, “I want people to really think about who they let into their lives. Not everyone deserves your trust, and sometimes, those closest… Read more »
