If you’re craving a radiant, ultra-feminine anthem that drips with glamour and California sunshine, singer-songwriter SHAB has answered the call.
‘LIPSTICK’, a sparkling gem from her bold sophomore album ‘ONE SUITCASE’, bursts onto the scene like a confetti cannon of empowerment and pop perfection. A celebration of femininity in all its dazzling glory, the track hits like your favorite lipstick: vivid, unapologetic, and instantly mood-boosting.
With its infectious groove pulsing with echoes of shimmering ’80s disco, and SHAB’s signature cotton-candy vocals floating effortlessly above, ‘LIPSTICK’ fully embraces its glossy, high-energy pop identity. The chorus - “And I know / And I know / And I know / it feels good” - is a euphoric earworm, brimming with confidence and joy. It’s the kind of melody that clings to you like sunshine, radiating personality and charm.
And then there’s the music video, a kaleidoscope of colour, camp, and cinematic flair. Picture SHAB lounging poolside in Los Angeles, her lips painted a bold scarlet and a retro beehive perched atop her head like a crown. She cradles a vintage ’80s phone with a wink, channeling old-school glamour with a cheeky, modern twist. It’s a delicious visual feast, a pastel-soaked Hollywood fantasy bursting with confidence, sass, and star power. Every frame feels like a love letter to reinvention, resilience, and the joy of living out loud.
Fresh from an expansive U.S. radio tour where she performed intimate, stripped-back versions of ‘ONE SUITCASE’ and appeared on Fox 13 Live to share her extraordinary story of escaping religious fundamentalism in Iran as a teenager, ‘LIPSTICK’ arrives as a bold milestone. It’s a celebration of triumph, transformation, and the rise of a true world-pop star.
Whether she’s baring her soul or delivering dance-floor-ready anthems, SHAB is carving a path that’s entirely her own. And ‘LIPSTICK’ proves she’s doing it with radiant style.
