Addison Rae Unveils Her Debut Album Track List Using a Rack of Undies
When Addison Rae revealed the release date of her debut album, Addison, she did so by showing the back of her underwear during Arca's set at Coachella. Now, the pop star is continuing the undies-themed rollout by unveiling her tracklist on a rack of panties. The short clip captures Rae as she goes through a rack of black underwear with the names of her 12 songs written on them. She pauses to display the names of Track 9, 'Fame Is a Gun,' and Track 12, 'Life's No Fun Through Clear Waters.' More from Rolling Stone Gabito Ballesteros Will Sing With J Balvin, Christian Nodal, and More on 'Ya No Se Llevan Serenatas' Miley Cyrus Unveils 'Something Beautiful' Track List, Featuring Brittany Howard, Naomi Campbell Morgan Wallen's New Album Is Already Spotify's Most-Streamed Country Album of 2025 Along with singles 'Diet Pepsi,' 'High Fashion,' 'Aquamarine,' and 'Headphones On,' the LP will feature tracks titled 'New York,' 'Money Is Everything,' 'Summer Forever,' and 'Times Like These.' In her caption, Rae reminded fans of her June 6 release date, and shared emojis that seemingly represent each of the songs on the record. Earlier this year, Rae played several songs for Rolling Stone ahead of her cover story. The songs were described as 'hypnotic, trance-like pop songs, pulsating and lush' that will make people want to dance. 'The lyrics are threaded with images of a life that's young, fun, and free: being naked on a beach, flying to Paris on a whim, being drunk at a bar,' the review read. 'There's no ego or self-seriousness; as we hear her exclaim 'I'm the richest girl in the world!' toward the end of one track.' The track list reveal comes about a month after she shared the Y2K-esque album cover for the record, which she described as a 'dream.' At the time, she wrote, 'I love the entirety of this project with all of me. A mirror. A deep desperation and desire to understand myself better. A true collection of my proudest work yet.' Rae also teased about having 'dream collaborators' on the LP, although she did not reveal who. The musician also shared that all the tracks are co-written and produced by Rae, Luka Kloser, and Elvira Anderfjärd. Track List 1. 'New York'2. 'Diet Pepsi'3. 'Money is Everything' 4. 'Aquamarine' 5.

The point is, she's priming her audience for a record that brings them along for an unpredictable ride. Earlier this year, Rae played several songs for Rolling Stone ahead of her cover story. They were described as 'hypnotic, trance-like pop songs, pulsating and lush' with an undeniable dance edge. Addison will feature the previously released singles 'Diet Pepsi,' 'Aquamarine,' 'High Fashion,' and 'Headphones On.' 'I really struggle with being like, 'All right, time to be sad and have just a guitar on the song,'' Rae told Rolling Stone. As an artist, the singer is heavily guided by the mood of her music. She landed her deal with Columbia after meeting with the label's CEO armed with only an image-based mood board and a dream. 'I just mood-boarded my vibes,' Rae said. '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.''Best of Rolling Stone The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time

Addison Rae Has a Taste for the Glamorous Life on ‘Fame Is a Gun'
Addison Rae has dropped one more preview of her debut album Addison. 'Fame Is a Gun' is the fifth single off her upcoming LP, which will be released on June 6th. On the shimmering new track, Rae basks in the glamorous life and the public's adoration. 'You know I keep it real/I live for the appeal,' she sings on the first chorus. 'Nothing makes me feel as good as being loved by you,' she continues on the bridge. More from Rolling Stone Addison Rae Gets Ready to Reintroduce Herself in Debut Album Trailer Addison Rae Unveils Her Debut Album Track List Using a Rack of Undies Watch Haim Debut 'Blood on the Street' With Help From Addison Rae The single's music video features the singer-songwriter basking in the indulgence of a feast, with closeups of her dinner guests smoking, eating grapes, and noshing on chicken, while the camera cuts to shots of Rae lounging with a silver gun. After becoming a star on TikTok, Rae launched her singing career in 2021 with the single 'Obsessed.' The track under-performed and the album she was working on at the time was scrapped, though some of the songs would link and eventually be released as an EP titled AR. Rae eventually signed a deal with Columbia Records and re-launched her pop career last year, first as a featured artist on Charli XCX's 'Von Dutch' remix alongside A.G. Cook. Over the summer, her single 'Diet Pepsi' became a viral hit, receiving critical acclaim and a spot on the Hot 100. She released the single 'Aquamarine' later in the fall and dropped songs 'High Fashion' and 'Headphones On' earlier this year. Rae announced her debut album's release date at Coachella, while performing 'Aquamarine' during Arca's set. Rae revealed to Rolling Stone earlier this year that she co-wrote all of the album's tracks with songwriters Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, both of whom are Max Martin's protégées. 'We were both shocked [that] her taste leaned very left and underground at times,' Kloser told Rolling Stone. Rae teased that this will be an album about movement and that there will be no sad or slow songs on the project. 'I really struggle with being like, 'All right, time to be sad and have just a guitar on the song,'' she said. She added that Max Martin himself had given her advice on how to tap in to her vulnerability. 'I had told him I struggle with talking about things that are really close to me,' Rae recalled. 'He's like, 'The only way you're going to really push yourself [is] to say things that are true and real. Once you spill it out, you can always take it down, but if you start shallow, it's hard to bump it up.''

Star of Arctic Monkey's famous album cover now – and his secret TV star pal
FANS of the Arctic Monkey will well remember their debut album, that launched the band to fame in the mid-noughties. The iconic album cover to Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not featured a young lad smoking - and we can reveal what he looks like now and who his VERY famous pal is. 5 5 The man on the front of the Arctic Monkey's first ever record was Chris McClure, who was just 16-years-old at the time. He landed the gig of posing as the poster boy for the album after he met Alex Turner, Matt Helders, Jamie Cook, Andy Nicholson, and Nick O'Malley in Sheffield before they were famous. However, he has now revealed just how much he was paid to be on the album that has since gone down in history. In an interview with Northern Chorus posted on Instagram, Chris said: "I was given about 700 quid." Chris has previously recalled the story of how he ended up on the Arctic Monkeys most famous album. Speaking to The Guardian in 2016, he recalled how he became friends with the band - who weren't famous at the time - when he was just a teenager. Chris said: "I frst met the Arctic Monkeys on the last bus home. We were 16. "We'd go to the same gigs in Sheffield, then see each other on the number 77 – so we became friends. "When they went on their first tour, I was their guitar tech: I couldn't tune a guitar to save my life, but I think they wanted someone who was part of the gang." Talking about being asked to be on the cover of their now very famous debut album, Chris recalled: "I was studying sociology at Manchester Metropolitan University when I got a call from Andy Nicholson, the bassist. "They were working on their debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, and wanted pictures of a guy on a night out for the artwork. "There was no suggestion it was for the cover. Andy asked if I'd do it, and I said why not? I'm not sure why me. I never asked. I think they just wanted someone normal." He then revealed he was given a "wad of cash" to get drunk and to come back at 2am to take the picture. Talking about becoming famous overnight, after the album was released in 2006, Chris said: "That Monday, my phone never stopped. It was bonkers; like being dipped into fame. Everyone in the world wanted to know who I was." 5 STAR PAL Along with the Arctic Monkeys, Chris also has another very famous star pal. He is also friends with Line of Duty star Vicky McClure - no relation. The pair have struck up a close friendship over the years, and she often helps him plug his daytime disco, Day Fever.

Meteor Infant's debut album charts life's glorious highs and bitter lows, before arriving at hope
Singer songwriter Liam Keenan wanted his baby girl to hear his debut album. "My fiancé and I have been trying to start a family through IVF and it's been over three years now," Keenan told ABC News. "We've had five attempts now at it and we finally did get pregnant late last year. "So, we were over the moon, super excited and it coincided with me writing all these songs and thinking about not just my ancestors who were before me but thinking about who will come after me." The couple began their IVF journey when Keenan, 30, was 27 and his partner, 27, was 24 due to some health issues that can lead to infertility. Devastatingly, their first child named Una didn't survive the pregnancy. "Sadly, she did pass away halfway through our pregnancy at five months and that only happened in January," Keenan said. The Gomeroi artist from North West NSW who makes music under the name Meteor Infant released his debut studio album Piliga Circumstance on Friday. Keenan also grapples on the lead single Lagoon with the recent loss of his grandfather, who had ambitions to be a professional boxer, running away from his home in Inverell as a teenager to join a travelling boxing troupe, only for his mum to find him, grab him by the ear and bring him home. "It's just me sort of reflecting on his life growing up as a young Indigenous man in the country, trying to get a leg up economically, and I guess it's about Country as well because it's a direct literal reference to some lagoons on Country where a lot of other important ceremonies and cultural events took place in the past. "And I was just thinking about him and me wishing I could really connect with him more while he was still here and sort of hear those stories about the old people and about culture that sadly did get lost in time and through the generations." Keenan, who was raised in Tamworth and Armidale and has always been fascinated by the Piliga, had an epiphany of sorts while going through his dad's record collection as a 14-year-old. "[That's] when you switch from the point of thinking they're annoying to actually thinking 'this is kind of cool. I might listen to this now.' And 'what's he doing with the guitar on that song?' "And my parents bought me a cheap local guitar at a garage sale or something and I just sort of started writing songs at home in my bedroom, writing poetry and lyrics. "And I was really into artists that my dad was into like Bob Dylan and Neil Young to begin with but also … Steely Dan, The Eagles, all that sort of legendary big name 70s stuff." Keenan was also inspired by artists closer to home. "I also grew up listening to a lot of my mum's records, listening to Paul Kelly," he said. "She was a big fan of Indigenous acts like No Fixed Address, even elder singer songwriters like Uncle Roger Knox who's actually a relation of mine, that felt really special knowing that there were people in my family who were musicians just doing it." Knox isn't the only family member who has impacted Keenan's career choices. His grandmother is trailblazing filmmaker Madeline McGrady. "My nan has also been a huge influence on me as an artist," Keenan said. "She was a pretty amazing pioneer documentary filmmaker in the 80s doing a lot of documenting of Indigenous activism and land rights and protest movements in Brisbane and Redfern and she has always been sort of inspiring me and pushing me to be ambitious and to keep going forward." Keenan and his fiancé still hope to start a family one day. "We've been taking some time from it all but we are going to try again," Keenan said. "You feel really isolated when you're this young and you're going through it. "My partner has quite advanced endometriosis so that's a big factor. "A lot of the doctors still really don't understand so there's still a big part of it that's mysterious and that can also leave you feeling really lost for answers." He warns that parenthood isn't something prospective mums and dads should put off. "Get cracking because you never know." Piliga Circumstance under Keenan's stage name Meteor Infant is out now.
