If you don’t consider yourself a fan of Addison Rae or have never even considered her at all, allow this day to be the one where regardless of how you feel about her, you won’t be able to forget her. The modern It girl and rising pop star has officially released her long-awaited major label debut, ‘Diet Pepsi’ which delivers a level of magic that shoots beyond any notion or expectation that has previously been set against her by the culture.
A very clear homage to the enduring legacy and lyrical genius of icon Lana Del Rey, ‘Diet Pepsi’ is packed with sexy ear candy and instantly catchy wordsmith-ing. The opening verse is evidence enough:
“My boy’s a winner, he loves the game / My lips reflect off his cross gold chain / I like the way he’s telling me / My ass looks good in these ripped blue jeans / My cheeks are red like cherries in the spring / Body’s a work of art you’d die to see”
The video also paints an enchanting impression of Rae, showcasing her wide range of charm and her insane performance skills, which when combined only cement her undeniable star power.
Rae made new industry waves earlier this year after hopping on a punchy remix of Charli XCX’s club classic, ‘Von Dutch’ followed by joining the Brat summer icon for a surprise live performance of the reworked banger in LA.
This first taste of Addison Rae’s new era isn’t just sweet, it’s a refreshing example of her commitment as a pop scholar and nostalgic reference girly. To say V are parched for more would be an understatement. And on that note, ‘Diet Pepsi’ will be on repeat until further notice.
