See I actuallly think it looks a bit cheap and low budget but thats makes me like it more.
I think Addison and her team are smart to key her music videos very minimalist and kinda diy-ish. Helps her stand apart from the ultra gloss HD look of the bigger girls.
I mean, I get what you’re saying about it probably actually being cheap lol, but it’s so much nicer to look than most music videos these days? It could be because they use the little budget they have to hire a good director while a lot of the other pop girls (Billie, Taylor) are trying to cosplay as directors themselves… or some of them like Ariana do still hire other directors but then the music videos themselves are derivative like that one video that was just Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Addison’s videos are well directed and unique. You’re right that that helps her stand out.
I wonder if she’s going to just release another EP or go for an entire album.
I just checked and Diet Pepsi is up to #35 on Spotify Global! I think the last time I looked a month or so ago it was somewhere in the 100s. So it does feel like she’s having a little moment.
Her music is just fun bops instead of being self-serious and we need that!
I’ve seen the Raecists or whatever you call Addison Rae fans (I saw a Carly Rae Jepsen fan get mad and say they need to pick a new name because they already claimed Raecists lol!) say this song reminds them a little bit of Kylie Minogue or Madonna. Tbf with the ray of light lyric she probably did intend it as a homage to Madonna. She can probably make a career based off paying homage to all the pop girls people miss like “Lana del Rey when she was fun” or Kylie or Madonna or Britney hahah.
Why would people agree "raecists" as a fan name!!!
I didn't even catch the ray of light reference! I didn't really get Madonna or Kylie vibes but just random 90s house/dance, although on second listen I guess I can Kylie inspiration.
Funny enough there was one shot in diet pepsi where I thought she kinda looked like Britney but I don't think it was intentional.
She def had money for this video cause she got Chanel, Victoria's Secret, and Pat McGrath to work on this video lol! 👀

The song itself, I liked Diet Pepsi a little better, but this one has a sensual and otherworldly vibe.
She needs to give us a whole album.

Keep this up and she can probably carve out her own little niche space.

To a degree her tacky/kitschy approach reminds me of early Lana.
