Addison Rae shows she can pop. Touted as a follow-up to her hit single “Lil’ Bebe,” her latest track, “High Fashion,” is a dazzling exhibition of confidence, creativity, and pure stardom that mixes addictive beats with lyrics that capture the spirit of self-expression artistry. It’s a declaration that locks Rae into membership in the firmament of pop music, no matter how many skeptics remain.
With “High Fashion,” Rae leans into the glitz, glamour, and unapologetic fun of getting dressed not only in couture but in the persona of a pop idol, one who refuses to be put in a box. She sings with a wink and a smirk, playfully inviting you into a realm where opulence and defiance intermingle, and each ensemble is an elegant act of insubordination. The production is polished and gripping, with an unmistakable Y2K flair that feels familiar but new.
But it’s not just about the music. It’s about the vision. Accompanied by a music video shot in her native Louisiana, the latest visual is the most ambitious of Rae’s projects, marrying high fashion with hometown roots. Directed by Mitch Ryan and creatively steered by Rae and her best friend Lexee Smith, the video is a cinematic extravaganza, delivering stunning looks, hypnotic choreography , and a fire-lit landscape that represents her burning desire to reinvent herself.
