YVETTE LERA is Back and ON FIRE as She Discusses Her New Video for “Burning Planet” 10\/11\/2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following was written by Ilker Y\u00fccel (Kryptych) on RegGen Mag www.regenmag.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging from a three-year-long hiatus is musician, actress, model, and sociocultural rabble rouser Yvette Lera as she unveils the music video for her song, \u201cBurning Planet.\u201d Originally written and recorded by Lera with Will Gannon in 2012, the track presents the artist\u2019s premonitory observations of a world in disarray, with Lera explaining that \u201cThe Planet is burning and being destroyed by those in power who are corrupt and who wish to control humanity and destroy all resources for their diabolical agendas.\u201d A boisterous industrial\/rock track that hearkens back to the artist\u2019s early days as a member of Chicago band Lick, the accompanying video was shot in Antioch, TN by Brandy Powers Crowe, edited by Lera in a straightforward and D.I.Y. style that she describes as \u201ca Tik-Tok video on crack.\u201d Of its style, Lera comments that \u201cthe rawness of little to no resources can be really cool and has a magic to it.\u201d The juxtaposition of Lera seemingly ranting in a manic and maniacal fashion on a sunny day in a cemetery before shifting to the post-industrial waste of an abandoned Checkers, framed by images of current world events, further emphasizes the song\u2019s themes; \u201cWe must be the light in these dark times,\u201d she continues, \u201cto help restore balance to humankind and this planet before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBurning Planet\u201d marks the first material Lera has released since 2020 when she appeared as a guest vocalist in Chrome Pipes\u2019 \u201cLights Out!\u201d single; before that, she had enjoyed a brief stint as a co-host of the Chicago-based MKUltraSound Podcast helmed by MK Ultra Magazine\u2018s Alex Zander. Over the years, Lera has collaborated in numerous bands and projects with the likes of Glenn Danzig, Taime Down, X-Japan\u2019s Hide, Chris Vrenna, Die Robot, and with Killing Joke members Jaz Coleman, Geordie Walker, and Paul Raven. \u201cI have full control of my message and how I want to portray it,\u201d she states, with plans to unleash more music in the coming months, much of which was recorded but had remained unreleased for more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n

The above photo is from2020 when Yvette moved back home to Chicago and was to be my co host on the podcast. The match was perfect. We’re 2 old rock n roll souls. But alas, it was not meant to be. CODVID and the restrictions fucked us all but Yvette go fucked harder than anyone I know. It was sad. I wanted to work side by side with my kindred spirit. The next few years would see her moving to Atlanta, and then to Austin and now she’s settled in Nashville. Despite all odds she has managed to make it. Barely make it but you cannot keep a woman like her down for long. Check her out on a recent MKULTRASOUND PodCast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
