With each new release, former TikTok star Addison Rae inches closer to becoming a household name in the pop music scene. Collaborating with her best friend Charli XCX on the recent Brat remix album and joining her on the Sweat Tour has certainly helped elevate her profile. Rae has actively supported Charli, performing together and contributing to the remix of “Von dutch.” Her latest individual effort, “Aquamarine,” follows her August release, “Diet Pepsi,” and showcases her growing musical prowess.
“Aquamarine” is accompanied by a vibrant music video directed by Sean Price Williams. In an enthusiastic Instagram post, Rae shared, “Aquamarine is officially out everywhere!!!!! I wrote this song earlier in the year with my beautiful friends, Luka & Elvira, not long after writing Diet Pepsi! Oh and we shot the music video in PARIS!!! Ahhhhhh!! I hope when you listen you can lose yourself and feel freeeeeeeeeee. Second time’s the charm!”
The track opens with Rae’s sultry, airy vocals layered over lush synth pads and an arpeggiated synth riff. “Aquamarine” transports listeners to an ethereal underwater world, evoking the feeling of swimming in the deep ocean. The dreamy soundscape complements the song’s lyrical themes, which emphasize freedom, self-discovery, and personal transformation.
With this release, Addison Rae continues to solidify her position as a rising pop sensation. “Aquamarine” is a smooth, easy-on-the-ears pop bop, which is a perfect addition to Rae’s blossoming discography.
