about

Ana de Llor's debut single Lilith is a war hymn beaten into life by Portuguese frame drums, brooding bass lines and an unapologetic and unyielding choir of women.

“This song is about being tired of being told to calm down, to not make a scene for the sake of our womanly modesty, it’s about recognizing that male figures have been made out to be the only valuable ones, the ones being heard and how this is perpetuated through our religious and societal standards and ideas. It’s about women being shut down throughout history, just like Lilith was.”

Lisbon-born, London-based artist Ana De Llor fuses her synesthesia with dark haunting melodies, doused in electric left-field Portuguese mysticism. Her visual art and remote Portuguese routes inspire avant-pop songs told by a heartfelt voice from within. Adufe rhythms bring her melodies to life inviting you into De Llor’s world.

lyrics

You told me, “hold your fire! Hold your fire!”
I told you, “I’m burning higher! Burning higher!”
You can’t keep away a fighter
You can’t keep a Goddess quiet
Burn, woman, burn!
Burn, woman, burn!
We’re told to keep to what our lanes are
I told you, “I know of roads that burned before that”
Our moan will give birth to the sun and the moon
Our pain came so soon, born in the womb
Came like fire, desire
And it’s golden, my Altar
Burn, woman, burn!
Burn, woman, burn!
Not your son, not your father, not your holy ghost
I’m the daughter, I’m the mother, I’m the Goddess you wronged (x2)
(You can’t keep away a fighter, you can’t keep a Goddess quiet)
Burn, woman, burn!
Burn, woman, burn!
