Addison Rae, formerly a TikTok star, released her debut studio album, 'Addison', on June 6, 2025. The album features 12 tracks, including 'Diet Pepsi' and 'Fame Is a Gun'. Rae collaborated with producers Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser, who also co-wrote some songs.
The album received mixed reviews. Critics noted Rae's ability to blend various musical influences, with tracks like 'New York' drawing comparisons to Charli XCX and 'Summer Forever' to Lana Del Rey. However, some reviews were less enthusiastic, with the Financial Times giving the album two out of five stars.
Despite the mixed critical reception, 'Addison' achieved commercial success. It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 in the United States, with 48,500 units sold in its first week. This included 23,000 pure album sales. To support the album, Rae will embark on her first concert tour, 'The Addison Tour', starting in Dublin on August 26, 2025.
