Addison is the upcoming debut studio album by American singer Addison Rae. It is expected to be released on June 6, 2025,[1][2][3] through Columbia Records and As Long As I'm Dancing. It was preceded by four singles: "Diet Pepsi", "Aquamarine", "High Fashion" and "Headphones On".

Background

[edit]

Rae originally rose to prominence as a content creator on TikTok where she had amassed over 88 million followers. She later ventured into acting and singing, the latter of which was spurred by her adoration of pop music. On August 18, 2023, Rae released her debut EP AR, which included her debut single "Obsessed" as well as four other tracks, including a collaboration with British singer-songwriter Charli XCX.[4] Rae revealed that XCX played a crucial role in shaping her musical journey following the release of the track. Talking to Vogue about her musical aspirations in 2023, she expressed her desire to have "full control over doing it exactly how I envision it", citing the EP as the "end note to the past few years" as well as the "stepping stone forward in my career".[5]

Speaking with Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone in January 2025, Rae revealed that she enlisted only Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd to produce her debut studio album. Both are signed to MxM Music, a publishing company owned by Swedish producer Max Martin. Kloser, Anderfjörd and Rae also co-wrote every song on the album, working between Los Angeles, New York City and Sweden. The album was partially recorded at Martin's studio headquarters in Sweden.[2] Spanos was presented a few album tracks during the interview, which she described as "hypnotic, trance-like pop songs, pulsating and lush" with lyrics that enbody the spirit of being "young, fun, and free".[6] Speaking with Suzy Exposito of Elle, Rae, Kloser and Anderfjärd revealed that the album was inspired by Madonna's 1998 album Ray of Light, while the Korg M1 synthesizer was dubbed "the sonic lynchpin" of the album.[7][8]

Ahead of its release, numerous publications referred to the album as one of the highest anticipated musical projects of 2025.[9][10][11][1][12]

Promotion

[edit]

On April 12, 2025, the singer made a surprise appearance at Arca's Coachella 2025 set.[1] During a performance of their collaboration "Arcamarine", Rae teased the album release date by flashing her pink underwear from Victoria's Secret with "June 6" written on them.[3] Rae revealed the album title and the artwork on April 23. The album is set to include twelve tracks.[13]

Singles

[edit]

In 2024, Rae signed with Columbia Records and released her major label debut single "Diet Pepsi", a "dreamy pop song", on August 9, 2024. The single went on to become her breakthrough hit, peaking at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the top 10 in the United Kingdom.[14] The second single "Aquamarine" was released on October 25. Described as a "siren's call wrapped in dance-pop shimmer", comparisons were drawn to the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue. The song was later remixed by Venezuelan producer Arca, titled "Arcamarine".[11] On February 14, 2025, she released the third single "High Fashion", a statement about the "addiction" to fashion and feeling empowered as a result.[15] "Headphones On", reminiscent of "smooth, new jack swing bounce straight out of 1994" mixed with Lana Del Rey-coded lyrics", was released as the fourth single on April 18.[16] Rae described making of the song and video as "cathartic" and a "transformative experience".[17]
