The way Headphones On was my least favourite from the singles when released now its my favourite song on the album.

 

Such a classic. Feels timeless.

The Guardian: How pop stars from Charli xcx to Addison Rae found the fun in fame again

 

 

Quote

The year's breakout pop star, Addison Rae, has been candid about pursuing fame at any cost. She found attention as a dancer on TikTok, a start that invited scepticism on her move into pop, and how a figure some perceived as culturally lightweight won patronage from more left-field acts in Charli xcx and Arca. She told the New York Times of her dance days: "When I reflect back on that time, I've recognised how much choice and taste is kind of a luxury." Rae grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana, and her parents had a troubled relationship. She said she had been "strategic" with building a career to change her situation. "It was a lot about like: 'How am I just going to get out of here?' It wasn't about like: 'Let me show the intricacies of myself right now.'"
As a pop star, Rae's image is startlingly close to that of vintage Spears: low-rise skirts, dancer's abs, full choreo. They share Louisiana roots and comparable origin stories. But the distance between where their respective escape routes landed them stretches the whole arc of how fame, once ordained by record label boardrooms, can now be self-determined. At 43, Spears may be freed from her abusive conservatorship arrangement but exists in a sort of purgatory. Rae, 24, has found freedom and taunts her detractors: "When you shame me, it makes me want it more."

 

not end credits but get those royalties I guess

 

 

 

she says Life's No Fun... was orig meant to be an actual full track

 

 

so there's this AOTY...

I wonder if she's releasing a deluxe next month or else before the tour... she'll only have 10 songs by then

 

Unless she performs the songs from the EP too and do some covers, which it would be nice. Imagine a Obsessed performance in 2025

This album is aging like a fine wine.

Why wouldn't she perform all her songs? She even said she loves Obsessed so I'm expecting that as well

Summer Forever has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it during the IKWYDLS credits

i know this is her debut and she is sort of a alt pop girl but I really wished her label pushed something else on radio....

isnt US radio super anti the word "gun" in pop songs? I dont think radio would play that. They should send it to international radio and then send something safer like Summer Forever or In The Rain to american radio....it's just the fact they arent doing anything to support this album is wild to me. She should also be booking some late night show tv slots to perform some of her songs not because performances do anything for charts but because it gives fans something to watch consistently and theres a chance a snippet or a moment of a live performance can go viral ....for an album this great her label is truly fumbling

Isn't the tour starting soon? I think that's the main priority for her right now, especially cause she's not an experienced performer yet. She's probably rehearsing a lot to gice us a perfect show. And the videos from the tour on tiktok will do more promo than any Late night tv performance could ever do for her.

 

I think they are not really pushing FiAG on radio cause the lead from the deluxe is around the corner. Or at least that's the only reason I can think of cause the song is otherwise still doing amazing on streaming with 1 million daily streams.

I hate how In the rain is the least streamed (full) song of the album. It's my fav song from her and it deserves so much more

Isn't it also the only song she hasn't performed live yet?

New vinyl variant https://shop.addisonrae.com/products/addison-exclusive-yellow-marble-vinyl

 

I wish they did an alternate cover for that new pressing, i already own 2 variants with the same cover... if it had a different one i would buy in a heartbeat but since nothing will change other than the disc color i'll pass 

 

A different cover with that pic as the gatefold would be a major gag and i'm sure it would bring even more sales

 

 

 

Also i hope that new shirt including the singles pics doesn't mean we won't have anything else this era

I'm late to the party but Headphones on being Britney Early Mornin coded. Whew. It literally hit me this morning. I love this song.

Just saw that this will ship in october  I guess that means we wont be getting a deluxe in the next couple months with the tour. I doubt they would be pressing this new variant when there would be a new edition on the way. Oh well

New merch looks cute 

 

Still AOTY btw

I mean the deluxe could always be digital only? I feel like she'd rather move onto AR2 after the tour than drop a deluxe & extend the era though
