Addison Rae does not fail in the fifth single from his debut album, ‘Addison’, which is put on sale on June 6. In ‘Fame is a fun’, the ninth (!) Disc cutting, Addison delivers an electropop shot that seems of the best Annie or the best Kylie.
‘Fame is a gun’, today’s song, refers to its sound of synthesizers to the electroclash of the first 2000 and the era of indie Sleaze. Addison inhabits this sound with grace and naturalness, as if he had been born for him.
Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd produce two hands ‘Fame is a gun’, obviously a letter about the danger of fame, a threat that Addison accepts delighted: “Love is a drug and I cannot deny it, I am the girl of your dreams, but you are not my guy,” he sings.
If the letter of ‘Fame is a gun’ directly quotes ‘The Glamourous Life’, the success of Sheila E. of 1984, the video clip is once again a feast of vague references, a collage of nostalgic images that you do not know in what work or time to locate. Addison plays a Femme Fatale with blonde wig and Rosa Gabardina, as in her own version of ‘Dressed to kill’ (1980). Then, the scenes in the moonlight refer to the video of ‘Stay’ (1992) by Shakespears Sister. Surely others will give more in the nail. Along the way, Addison delivers another indisputable pop theme.
