Addison Rae makes hero worship interesting. I don’t totally think this is a Lana’s nachos situation (past the Americana iconography) - it’s Madonna meets Mariah with sugary Mazzy Star sex appeal. I’d be remiss not to mention the perfect video, directed by Sean Price Williams, which references everything from Showgirls to Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Addison is charming and unserious, and has such mesmerizing quality of movement that I’m shocked the Renegade dance made her famous. She’s also the only pop girl that gives me hope for a trip-hop revival (if her team wants to talk shop, we can do lunch at All Time).
