Issac Ryan Brown has got the voice, the songs, the charisma and the moves to be 2026’s answer to classic pop/R&B superstars likeMichael Jackson and Usher. Today, Issac lives up to hype as he drops his new single ‘Lipstick’. Listen HERE. Watch the official video HERE.
Issac’s mission statement is to make music that’s “kinda retro, kinda pop, and kinda new” and that’s precisely what the 20-year-old has delivered with ‘Lipstick’. As he quickly proves, party-starting pop hooks and luscious, expressive vocals will remain in vogue regardless of the era – and especially when they’re applied to a sound which hits the perfect equilibrium between explosive modernist production and throwback electro-funk guitar. Lyrically it’s both provocative and playful. Simply, if there’s space in your life for a next gen Bruno Mars or Usher, Issac Ryan Brown is your man.
Issac says, “‘Lipstick’ is about asking your crush to leave their mark on you like a logo where everyone can see it.”
The video for the track affirms Issac’s magnetic force-of-personality. It’s a simple idea perfectly executed, as Issac brings fleet-footed dance moves and his immense, undeniable aura to Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
‘Lipstick’ is the latest from the same creative team that is leading Issac confidently into a bold new era. As with ‘End of The Season’,Issac wrote the song with Arno Spires, Chris Ballard and Wayne Hector, who has achieved 40+ #1 hits and more than 380 million sales for his work with One Direction, Nicki Minaj, David Guetta and many more. The track was produced by KYYNGS.
Hailing from Detroit, Issac’s star quality is so natural he was seemingly born with it. It was there when he performed in front of the entire church congregation when he was just 3-years-old, and it shined on a public stage for the first time just three years later when everybody fell in love with his performance of The Jackson 5’s ‘I Want You Back’. But initially, his life headed in a different direction as he started in the Disney TV smash ‘Raven’s Home’ and featured in everything from ‘Black-ish’ to ‘Family Guy’.
But when ‘Raven’s Home’ ended, he wanted to get back to his first passion, music. He was spotted by Steven Machat (who knows a talent with global potential when he sees it having helped break Bobby Brown, Babyface and LA Reid) who signed him to his SSK Recordslabel. Issac developed his skills over the course of three years of dedicated hard work with Arno Spires and Chris Ballard, before heading to London to find that magic extra touch with Wayne Hector. Along the way, Issac discovered his acting background helped him to fully express himself without fear while singing.
