Addison Rae Releases Fifth Single 'Fame Is a Gun' Ahead of Debut Album

TikTok star turned pop singer Addison Rae is set to release her debut album, Addison, on June 6, following the rollout of five singles including the latest, “Fame Is a Gun.” The synth-pop single features introspective lyrics about fame and its complexities, accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by Sean Price Williams, showcasing Rae hosting a glamorous dinner party. Rae co-wrote the album with collaborators Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, aiming for a sound that is both unique and optimistic, steering away from sad or slow songs. Having gained initial recognition on TikTok, Rae's music career was relaunched with strong support from Columbia Records, with previous singles like “Diet Pepsi” achieving viral success and critical acclaim. The album has generated anticipation partly due to Rae's blend of catchy pop hooks and her ability to translate her TikTok popularity into music, earning respect from peers in the industry. Addison’s tracklist includes songs that reflect Rae's experiences with fame, movement, and self-reflection, suggesting a vibrant pop record that extends beyond her viral origins.
