In a sea of emerging pop acts, few command your attention quite like the way SHAB does. The Persian-American artist, refugee, and unapologetic force of nature, with an incredible story. Fresh off the release of ‘LIPSTICK’, a shimmering 80s-tinged dance anthem, SHAB is boldly stepping into her next era, and if she\u2019s not yet on your radar, she should be.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What sets SHAB apart isn\u2019t just her ability to write dancefloor hits, it\u2019s her commitment to turning pain into purpose. As a named ambassador for the refugee charity Choose Love, SHAB pledged to donate *all profits* from ‘One Suitcase’ to the organisation, standing in solidarity with displaced people around the globe. Her advocacy doesn\u2019t stop there. SHAB has emerged as a vocal critic of Iran\u2019s regime and a proud supporter of women\u2019s rights, using her platform to raise awareness with the same boldness she brings to the stage. A real artist singing for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as well as her advocacy, the music is also undeniable. With ‘LIPSTICK’, SHAB delivers a masterclass in modern pop: an addictive, 80s-infused groove laced with vibrant synths, sleek production, and a chorus built to live rent-free in your head. It\u2019s bold, stylish, and made for movement, the kind of track that feels equally at home in a summer festival set or a late-night club playlist. Drawn from her 21-track album, ‘One Suitcase’, LIPSTICK stands as a defiant celebration of womanhood and self-expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In just a few short years, she\u2019s built a following across continents. From a Top 40 US hit with Fat Joe (Voodoo), to multiple #2 singles on the UK Commercial Pop Chart, to sold-out arena shows supporting JLS at The O2, SHAB has proven she\u2019s not just breaking through – she\u2019s here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 25 million YouTube views and growing critical acclaim, SHAB is a pop star in every sense of the word, but one with a story that adds real weight to every glittering hook. If you\u2019re not already paying attention to SHAB, now\u2019s the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
