Jesse Jo Stark has shared the video for her new single, Lipstick, and released her debut album DOOMED.
The LA-based singer-songwriter says her new single is about “the duality of love. relieves your pain, yet causes you more” and its accompanying video sees Stark referencing icons of the past.
The track’s chorus runs: “I don’t wanna be here anymore / I’m dead lying on the floor / Your lipstick tastes like cocaine / Your lipstick take away the pain”
Watch the video below:
DOOMED is described by Stark’s ‘people’ as “a film in album form – equal parts high drama and quiet self-reflection, assertive yet mercurial, joyful but melancholic and built on a fever pitch of sonic elements ranging from punk, psychobilly, bubblegum and art-pop.”
The album is said to be “a coming-of-age journey of self-exploration that traverses subjects ranging from heartbreak to female empowerment, power dynamics, self-acceptance and, most of all, love.”
