Addison Rae

The three singles for her upcoming debut album have been pretty good.

"Diet Pepsi" made it into ILM's top 10 tracks of 2024.

I think she deserves her own thread.

Love diet pepsi. Lana pastiche

New single out today: “high fashion” sounds like Banks.

Love all three of these songs/videos. She’s the real deal. Also the chorus of “High Fashion” has one of the craziest chord progressions I’ve ever heard in a pop song

Rebranding herself as an ingenue-coquette popstar was a good move, it fits her. It hasn’t been done in the mainstream in a while. Britney championed it in “one more time” and Lana Del Rey was a darker spin on it on the Born to Die and Lizzy Grant era.

Her music has had some great production and interesting musical ideas in these three singles. Her debut album should be great if she continues this streak.

whoa "high fashion" is great, what a video.

lana pastiche sure but she has beats and these can be played in a club.

I always get her confused with Madison Beer.

Re: the wild chord progression in the chorus and bridge of "High Fashion" to my ears it's giving ominous medieval polyphony, like in Guillaume de Machaut's Messe de Nostre Dame:

Whether it's intentional or not (probably not), it's a really cool and unusual place for a pop song to go harmonically.

"I know how to make the hard things look really easy"

Whether it's intentional or not (probably not)

pointless to speculate but some of these professional songwriters know an awful lot.. i wouldn't be surprised if luka kloser or tove burman or .. ELVIRA.. knows their kyries

feels like pop lately has been trying to be "dark" whatever that means - maybe it just means catholic? see also the new gaga album.
