SHAB has never been one to take a backseat with her message, and with ‘LIPSTICK,’ she turns up the volume on self-expression, freedom, and pure pop brilliance. Lifted from her colorful 21-track sophomore album ONE SUITCASE, “LIPSTICK” is a brazen and unapologetic celebration of womanhood doused with glimmering synths and a pumping retro beat. The song launches into a soundscape dominated by lush melodies and an irresistible rhythm, all held together by SHAB’s signature touch of glamour and storytelling.
“LIPSTICK” feels like a midnight joyride in a convertible from the very first beat down neon-drenched strips. The production is rich in an 80s-inflected dance-pop sound, with nostalgic synth lines and glimmering electronic flourishes, but this is not mere reverie. SHAB makes it sleek, deliberate, and achingly contemporary. Her voice dominates the track with a blend of silkiness and strength, by turns conjuring fortitude and emotion as she explores themes of independence, feminine identity, and narrative agency.
What separates “LIPSTICK” is the message. There is a triumphant defiance coursing through every line, an affirmation that power can shimmy, strut, and shine. It’s a love letter to the kind of woman who paints on her lips like armor and dances the way she owns the world.
With ONE SUITCASE, SHAB spread her journey, and “LIPSTICK” is the bold underline beneath all that. This track is one single above all else, a statement. SHAB is making anthems for the modern-day muse. Whether you’re a newbie to SHAB or have been along for the ride through her sonic evolution, “LIPSTICK” is a fresh reminder of why she’s still climbing like she is: fearless, fabulous, and undeniably unforgettable.
