Now you can step into it with the dazzling new music video from world-pop sensation SHAB.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bringing her infectious single \u2018LIPSTICK\u2019 to life, the video is a vibrant blend of \u201980s disco flair and contemporary pop glamour. With its irresistible rhythm and vocals that are equal parts tender and powerful, the track is a shameless declaration of femininity. Set against the backdrop of California\u2019s luxurious sunshine and scenery, the visual delivers a delightful sun-drenched summer fantasy to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retro touches are scattered throughout: from a blue-lit bedroom with silk sheets and a vintage telephone to playful tanning scenes beside a sparkling pool. The styling is bold, exaggerated, and dripping with tongue-in-cheek charm &#8211; complete with eye-catching fashion, dramatic hairstyles, and of course, plenty of lipstick. In one standout moment, SHAB swipes on a flash of red while gazing into a rearview mirror, radiating effortless class and allure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an era where standout music videos are increasingly rare, SHAB proves that when done right, they\u2019re pure magic. \u2018LIPSTICK\u2019 is a shimmering visual chapter from her critically acclaimed sophomore album, &#8216;One Suitcase&#8217;, a body of work shaped by her remarkable journey from escaping Iran as a teenager to carving out her own space as a global pop artist in the U.S. The song, with its flair and sass, feels like a joyful triumph: she\u2019s made it through the fire, and now she\u2019s thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So grab your popcorn, channel your inner screen siren, and step into the glamorous, retro-tinged world of \u2018LIPSTICK\u2019. It\u2019s bold, it\u2019s fun, and it\u2019s everything pure pop should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_72014\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8wrma9xEmC0?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"SHAB - Lipstick (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/8wrma9xEmC0\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bright red lips, towering beehives, sun-soaked poolside scenes, champagne on ice, and classic cars straight out of Grace Kelly\u2019s era &#8211; sounds like a dream, right?
