Nikki Russell's latest single, "Red Lipstick," is a bold declaration of female empowerment and self-love. Released through MackLife Records, owned by the legendary UK R&B star Mark Morrison, this Florida-based singer and songwriter performs with a shining light that is as uplifting as it is catchy.
Produced by Carlton Morgan and Mark Morrison, "Red Lipstick" rides along on sleek contemporary R&B production, Nikki's voice splitting the difference effortlessly between openness and full strength. Her voice is lush, expressive, and full of subtle power, a woman who has come through pain and learned to dance with it. The song's message is that self-worth is the most authentic beauty. With an eye-catching music video shot in London and directed by Pierre Jermaine, "Red Lipstick" is the true essence of fierce and fabulous womanhood.
The song flows back and forth from light to dark, the same as any woman refusing to play victim. It's a message of empowerment packaged in a luxurious R&B groove that lingers. "Red Lipstick" sounds like a bold, brilliant, and undeniably self-loving track. Nikki Russell has created a song that celebrates not only femininity but also freedom. In each beat and in every lyric, she asserts that strength and softness can coexist, and that is her superpower as an artist.
