Album of the Year Nomination #2 - Addison Rae - Addison

Following PinkPantheress yesterday, it's time for the second Album of the Year Nomination for 2025! The second Album of the Year Nomination also happens to be this week's feature album.

Addison is the debut studio album by American singer Addison Rae. 

Released last Friday, the full length release was preceded by the release of five singles. Diet Pepsi, Aquamarine, High Fashion, Headphones On, & Fame Is a Gun.

Addison received positive reviews, with critics especially praising the album's production.

Rae originally rose to prominence as a content creator on TikTok where she had amassed over 88 million followers.

She later ventured into acting and singing, the latter of which was spurred by her adoration of pop music.

Back in August, 2023, Rae released her debut EP AR, which included her debut single Obsessed as well as four other tracks, including a collaboration with British singer-songwriter Charli XCX.

Rae revealed that XCX played a crucial role in shaping her musical journey following the release of the track. 

Speaking with Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone in January 2025, Rae revealed that she enlisted only Luka Kloser and Elvira AnderfjÀrd to produce her debut studio album. 

Ahead of its release, numerous publications referred to the album as one of the most anticipated musical projects of 2025.

If you haven't listened to the record yet, get on it below. It's been the feature album, now the second Album of the Year Nomination for 2025.
