Addison Rae Announces Debut Album Release Date at Coachella
Date: April 13, 2024
Key Announcement During Coachella
Renowned music festival Coachella served as the backdrop for surprising news from pop star Addison Rae. During a surprise appearance in Arca’s set, Rae disclosed that her debut album is set for release on June 6, 2024. This announcement was made in a distinctive manner; as she concluded her performance of “Aquamarine / Arcamarine,” she turned around to reveal the release date emblazoned on her underwear, clearly visible through her sheer gown. “I love you Arca,” she exclaimed afterward, to which Arca responded, “Yes queen!”
Background on the Album
The announcement comes after months of anticipation, with Rae having teased the project extensively. The first single from the album, “Diet Pepsi,” was launched in August 2024, setting the stage for the full release. In various interviews, the album’s sound has been characterized as “lush” and “hypnotic,” a description supported by critiques from Rolling Stone.
Previous Works
This upcoming album builds upon her earlier work, specifically her debut EP titled AR, which was released in 2023. The anticipation surrounding her music indicates a growing trajectory in her career as she transitions from social media influencer to a formidable presence in the music industry.
