Rising dark-pop and trapmetal artist Lipstick Killer is back and louder than ever.

Her new single “Darkness” is a raw, poetic storm of love, rage, and survival.

After the success of her breakout singleDelaware Ave,” Lipstick Killer returns with a song that contains strong guitar tones, blending punk, hip-hop, and trapmetal into a sound that’s unmistakably hers. 

Produced by Greg Zola and written by Lipstick Killer herself, the single showcases her ability to turn pain into power. Every line tells the painful truth, every note carries scars. It’s a song about jealousy, obsession, heartbreak, and rebirth. These themes define not only the track but Lipstick Killer’s artistry as a whole.

Moreover, “Darkness” strips away the industry gloss and delivers something raw and real. It’s a rebellion against perfection. “I’m not a poser — I’m a rockstar,” Lipstick Killer declares. “I don’t follow trends. I create them. I’m the anti of everything that feels manufactured in today’s industry.”

For Lipstick Killer, the stage is her battlefield. Her stage presence is unpredictable and explosive, it’s a mix of grit, glamour, and pure adrenaline. 

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, and now based in New York, Lipstick Killer has been creating music since she was just 12. After leaving college early to chase her dreams, she encountered challenges that would have broken most, but she built her empire instead. From leading bands like Rebella Rising (which opened for Ariana Grande and MKTO at Kansas City’s Red, White & Boom Festival) to shaping her solo identity, she’s shown that strength is her signature.

“Darkness” isn’t just another single, it’s about facing the chaos within and turning it into art. The upcoming release will leave the listeners hooked and eager for what’s coming next.

“Darkness” by Lipstick Killer won’t keep you waiting for long.
