Elektrik Skin – Lipstick (Feat. Robson Darker)

Synth pop with heart: Elektrik Skin's "Lipstick" seduces the senses

The song "Lipstick" by Elektrik Skin, fea­tur­ing Robson Darker, is a synth pop gem from Austria that impresses with romantic and dance­able sounds. The soft syn­thes­izer sounds give the piece an elec­tro pop touch, which, how­ever, lacks the dark, rough depth that one would expect from clas­sic synth pop. Nevertheless, the song impresses with a clev­er melody and a catchy chor­us that invites you to tap your feet.

Robson Darker's vocals shine as they did in "If You Want" and give "Lipstick" a soul­ful dimen­sion. However, the vocals could be mixed a little more power­fully and fully to emphas­ise the emo­tion­al depth even more. A rich­er voice would have brought out the romantic lyr­ics even more intensely.

In terms of sound, Elektrik Skin are inspired by the great synth pop icons of the 80s, such as "The Human League", "Duran Duran" and "Depeche Mode". Even though they have not yet quite reached the level of these legends, they are on a prom­ising path. In par­tic­u­lar, the nos­tal­gic charm of the synth sound brings back memor­ies of past dance nights and makes you want more.

"Lipstick" describes memor­ies of a spe­cial night and, with its lyr­ics and atmo­spher­ic sounds, awakens a long­ing for more. The chor­us in par­tic­u­lar, "You've got my lip­stick on your neck", stays in your head and gives the song a sen­su­al touch. This song is part of our Spotify playl­ist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2024‘.

Lyrics of "Elektrik Skin – Lipstick (Feat. Robson Darker)"

The mid­day sun wakes me up
after a long, long night
I feel your kiss in my mind
and I’m long­ing for some more
as I sit here all alone at home
I sud­denly have to smile
when I remem­ber the things we’ve done
time after time

You’ve got my lip­stick on your neck
lip­stick on your neck
you’ve got my lip­stick on your neck
lip­stick on your neck
you’ve got my lip­stick on your neck
lip­stick on your neck

and again, and again, and again, and again
and again

You’re part of the circle
you’re part of the masquerade
no love and no names
these are the rules for this game I’ve made
togeth­er we can hit a peak
we've nev­er been
no ques­tions allowed
enjoy the world full of sin

Side by side
we’re lying in our circle
the dark­er the night
the more I can feel your touch…
