How Addison Rae Went from TikTok to the Pop Charts
Briefly

Addison Rae, initially criticized for her debut single 'Obsessed', has transitioned to a credible pop artist with the release of her first full-length album 'Addison'. This album showcases her evolution, featuring seductive dance-pop tracks that prioritize her presence over her heavily processed vocals. Rae's collaboration with hyperpop icon Charli XCX has notably influenced her musical direction, enhancing her pop sensibilities. With tracks designed to dominate summer playlists, Rae's new work highlights her self-confidence and desire to refine her artistic persona, demonstrating a nuanced growth in her music career.
"I'm obsessed with me as much as you / Say you'd die for me, I'd die for me too," Rae pants on the chorus of 'Obsessed,' illustrating her blend of confidence and narcissism.
This month, Rae released 'Addison,' her first full-length album, poised to become one of the summer's marquee offerings, promising to dominate playlists.
