Lipstick Killer Prepares to Burn It All Down with New Single “Delaware Ave”

Few artists can turn personal apocalypse into art quite like Lipstick Killer. The Pittsburgh-born firestarter is back, and her latest single, “Delaware Ave,” set to drop in late August, is already sparking buzz across the underground. It’s the lead track from her upcoming EP Cigarettes & Heartbreak Vol. 1, a blistering, six-track eruption of grief, betrayal, and radical self-reclamation.

Lipstick Killer doesn’t just make music; she ignites movements. Fusing the raw edge of punk with the venom of hip-hop and the chaos of trapmetal, she’s built a signature sound that refuses to sit quietly in any one box. Her delivery ranges from sharp-tongued bars to demonic growls that echo long after the final note. The result is feral, unapologetic, and unmistakably hers.

“Delaware Ave” is based on a deeply personal experience of betrayal; it’s the musical embodiment of that split-second when illusion cracks and truth floods in. It hits with the rage of a thousand unanswered questions and carries the weight of a woman who’s done being lied to. But more than pain, there’s power here. You can feel it in every line she spits, every beat that crashes like a war drum.

Lipstick Killer channels the rebel spirit of a ‘60s biker queen — leather-clad, cigarette in hand, eyes full of fire. Her influences stretch wide and deep, from the lyrical genius of Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill to the rebellious chaos of Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers. That mix of elegance and grit lives in every verse she spits.

Cigarettes & Heartbreak Vol. 1 lands in December, and if “Delaware Ave” is any indication, this project won’t be for the faint of heart. It’s music for those clawing their way out of the wreckage. And Lipstick Killer isn’t offering comfort; she’s offering gasoline.

Get ready to light the match.
