Overview
- Rae released “Fame Is a Gun” on May 30 as the fifth single teasing her debut album Addison, which arrives June 6, 2025.
- The grainy synth-pop video depicts Rae hosting a decadent dinner party as guests indulge in grapes, chicken and cigarettes while she lounges with a silver gun.
- Addison features songs co-written by Rae alongside songwriters Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, both protégés of Max Martin, who advised her to embrace vulnerability.
- The single follows Rae’s earlier releases “Diet Pepsi,” “Aquamarine,” “High Fashion” and “Headphones On” and builds on her August 2023 EP AR.
- Rae describes the album as a nonstop, optimistic collection without slow or sad songs that blends mainstream pop with underground influences.
