"I don't think since Britney we've gotten a pop girl that oozes this sort of midwestern quality in her pop-star identity, the idea of a normal girl that's been buffed up and glossed until shiny (coincidentally, like Britney, Addison Rae also hails from Louisiana)," writes Steffanee Wang. ⁠ ⁠ "For Rae, all this contributes to creating a striking, imperfect effortlessness to her music, something that deviates from the Britney comparison but only in the sense that Britney came up in an age of industry scrutinized pop creation; imperfection wouldn't have been allowed. Perhaps, however, if she debuted in 2025, her career might've looked something more like Rae's. This is something Mel Ottenberg surely must've considered while creative directing Rae's entire rebrand — one of the best music has ever seen."⁠ ⁠ Read our review of addisonraee's latest hit, "High Fashion," at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Bella Newman⁠ ⁠ #AddisonRae #HighFashion
