Addison Rae has officially entered the pop music spotlight with the release of her highly anticipated self-titled debut album, Addison, out today (June 6). The album arrives nearly a year after her viral single “Diet Pepsi” and marks a turning point in Rae’s creative evolution — from TikTok star to a fully realized pop artist.
The 12-track album features no guest appearances and includes two interludes. Rae co-wrote every song alongside collaborators Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, giving the project a deeply personal touch. As reported by Billboard’s Lyndsey Havens and Josh Glicksman, the album’s strength lies in Rae’s balance of vulnerability and boldness, embracing the duality of fame and self-discovery.
Over the past year, Rae has expanded her presence in music through high-profile performances with Charli XCX and Troye Sivan on the Sweat Tour, as well as an appearance with Charli and Arca at Coachella. During her Coachella set, Rae revealed the album’s release date by showing “June 6” written on her underwear — a bold nod to her flair for theatrics and personal branding.
Despite her rising profile, Rae has described Addison as both her “first and last album,” suggesting the project may stand alone as a personal and artistic milestone. On her website, this phrasing appears beneath each version of the album (CD, vinyl, and box set).
Whether or not Rae continues down this path, Addison captures a pop star unafraid to reflect, experiment, and be heard. With its blend of introspection, fun, and stylistic clarity, Rae’s debut leaves its mark — and listeners pressing repeat.
