Addison Rae is the best thing to happen to pop music in a long time

[FfFfFfFF 58,116]

Addison Rae's redemption arc from cringy TikToker to glamorous pop icon is the most captivating phenomenon in 2020s pop. She had every reason to flop and become a Jojo Siwa-type of chanteuse (and she kinda delved into that territory a bit with Obsessed), yet she didn't.. Morever -to be quite honest- her recent music outclasses songs from indie pop veterans like Lorde, Marina etc.

Her new songs sound expensive, glamorous, glittery and ethereal even. So to create such a soundscape to me proves she has a developed musical ear and artistic vision. Everything she releases ends up on repeat to me, starting from 2 die 4 to Headphones On.

Her videos are giving 2010s tumblr with a modern touch w/ artsy scenes and visually pleasing shots and colors. As a quick confession: I had somewhat of a soft spot for her even in her TikTok days and now I feel fully vindicated seeing how many people are on board with her new stuff. 

Finally, even though she is pretty early in her career, I was never as genuinely impressed by a new pop girl since Rosalia and I think I am about to apply for Addison Rae stan card.  What do you think of her songs' direction and what are your expectations from her upcoming album? 

Fun fact: Her music was even praised by Kylie Minogue!

Trueee 

My current new fav pop girls are Addison and Chappell 

[Starmie25 22,569]

She has some neat bops, but she does feel a bit polished and manufactured (but that's just me)

Not stanning her yet but I will give Addison credit for exceeding my expectations so far and she seems like somebody with a genuine desire to keep improving. The last string of singles have been good and hopefully the album follows through.

her album sounds phenomenal so far but im not stanning anyone before at least 2 albums

[dollardays 4,197]

She seems to be coming from a place of genuine exploration and commitment, I'm interested 

[faysalaaa 5,336]

She went from below basic to okay

[Sneaky Oliver 22,974]

I wouldn’t say say THE best because we just got Chappell but, definitely one of the best yes

[LauraPalmer 1,773]

i’m so excited for her album. i’ve loved all 4 songs and videos. High Fashion is probably my fave

[elijahfan 27,484]

I agree, she's like Britney Spears meets Björk and I'm loving it.

[BeFree 212]

Personally I find her underwhelming; she does not seem to have much vocal or musical talent based on what I have seen. Some of the songs are catchy but overall I do not think there is much star power.
