Recently featured in an interview with AllaboutGinger blog, emerging artist Lilithu dives into the backstory of her debut single “Foolish” and her evolution in the music industry. This release marks a pivotal point in her career, which began three years ago when her love for managing party playlists evolved into a serious pursuit of DJing and music production.
Encouraged by friends during the pandemic, Lilithu took her passion a step further by enrolling in a class at 343 Labs, taught by the renowned bass artist, Great Dane. Her single “Foolish” draws heavily from personal experiences, particularly the tragic suicide of her roommate, Lilly. The track is a reflection on mental health struggles and the toxic influences that she decisively cut from her life.
Her collaboration with djburnout420 on “Foolish” and the entire album was almost serendipitous, coming at a time when Lilithu was close to abandoning her music dreams. The partnership, sparked at a music festival, proved fruitful, with djburnout420 bringing precision to their music creation process, complementing Lilithu’s broader vision.
Lilithu cites Doja Cat and the film “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” as significant artistic influences during the production of “Foolish.” Her friends and family reacted positively to the single, with reactions ranging from surprise at its quality to concern for her wellbeing, showing a mix of emotions that underscored their support.
Raised in Orlando, Florida, Lilithu was influenced by the region’s eclectic musical scene, infusing her music with elements from various genres, ensuring it caters to both reflective moments and lively social gatherings. She also finds inspiration in powerful female figures, both real and mythical, who embody strength and defiance, such as Artemisia Gentileschi and Megan Thee Stallion.
In her studio, Lilithu emphasizes the importance of maintaining a zero-expectation environment to nurture creativity. As she prepares to release more singles and her album “The Book of Lilith” on September 22, her story and music continue to inspire and resonate with a growing audience.
This intimate glimpse into Lilithu’s path and perspectives not only reflects her artistic growth but also highlights her determination to connect deeply with her listeners through music and personal experiences.
