Adnan Sami has released a new song titled 'Lipstick' that aims to break the stigma surrounding women who wear lipstick. While the word 'lipstick' usually conjures images of glamour, high-fashion city life, runways, and models, Sami said he chose to give the track a more rooted flavour by presenting women in vibrant ethnic looks.
The singer-composer, known for his versatile music, shared that the song is a celebration of womanhood and challenges the societal taboos associated with women wearing makeup, especially lipstick. He emphasized that the track is not about superficial beauty but about empowerment and confidence.
Breaking Stereotypes
In an interview, Sami explained that the idea for the song came from observing how women in many parts of the world are judged for wearing lipstick. He wanted to create a piece that would encourage women to embrace their choices without fear of societal backlash.
The music video features women from diverse backgrounds, dressed in traditional Indian attire, showcasing the cultural richness of the country. Sami said, 'I wanted to move away from the typical glamourous portrayal and show that lipstick is for every woman, whether she lives in a city or a village.'
Musical and Visual Elements
The song blends contemporary beats with classical Indian instruments, creating a fusion that appeals to a wide audience. The lyrics, written by Sami himself, are empowering and uplifting.
The video has been shot in various locations across India, highlighting the beauty of rural landscapes and traditional settings. Sami hopes that the song will start conversations and help change perceptions about women and makeup.
Fans have already started sharing their thoughts on social media, with many praising the singer for addressing a relevant social issue through his music.
