Blending retro influences with a modern pop sheen, Lipstick delivers exactly what Brown has set out to achieve with his music—something “kinda retro, kinda pop, and kinda new.” Built on shimmering electro-funk guitar, punchy production and his smooth, expressive vocal, the track leans into playful, flirtatious territory. “Lipstick is about asking your crush to leave their mark on you like a logo where everyone can see it,” Brown explains.
The accompanying video captures that same charisma, placing Brown front and centre as he brings sharp choreography and undeniable star power to the streets of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. It’s a simple concept elevated by his natural performance instincts—something honed long before his return to music.
Before refocusing on his recording career, Brown built a profile as an actor, notably appearing in the Disney series Raven’s Home. But music has always been his first love. From performing in church at just three years old to impressing audiences with a childhood rendition of The Jackson 5 classic I Want You Back, his trajectory towards the stage now feels inevitable.
Behind the scenes, Brown has assembled a heavyweight creative team to match his ambitions. Lipstick reunites him with collaborators Arno Spires and Chris Ballard, alongside hitmaker Wayne Hector, whose track record spans global chart-toppers for artists including One Direction and Nicki Minaj. Production comes courtesy of KYYNGS, giving the track its polished, radio-ready edge.
Brown’s growing fanbase—already numbering in the millions across social platforms—has been steadily building since the success of his iTunes chart-topper End of The Season. Now, with Lipstick, he takes another confident step toward establishing himself as a next-generation pop force, drawing comparisons to icons like Usher and Bruno Mars while carving out a lane entirely his own.
With undeniable vocal ability, natural charisma and a clear artistic vision, Issac Ryan Brown isn’t just chasing pop stardom—he’s making a compelling case that it’s already within reach.
