Addison Rae Announces Debut Album Release During Arca’s Coachella Set

Rae spoke to Rolling Stone about her musical journey when she graced the cover of the magazine in February, revealing that she worked with songwriters Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, who are signed to Max Martin’s publishing company, MxM Music, to produce the album. “Luka started playing the piano, and then literally, it was like magic,” Rae said at the time about making single “Diet Pepsi”

She also talked about her musical journey, sharing details about a pivotal label meeting that got her signed.

“I walked in with a binder, and I made a slideshow,” Rae said. The presentation was full of pictures and word clouds that she felt represented who she would be as a performer. “I just mood-boarded my vibes. I literally had no music to play him at that point, so it was about trust. Like, ‘Yes, I’m in the clouds, and I enjoy being there. But I’m also serious.’”
