The World Is Addison Rae’s Oyster on ‘Aquamarine’

Addison Rae is on a pop hot streak, following up “Diet Pepsi” with the dreamy “Aquamarine.”

Rae opens the entrancing song by stating “the world is my oyster/come touch the pearl.” Above a sparkling track, the star makes a series of sea-inspired double-entendres and even references the Heart of the Ocean necklace from both Titanic and Britney Spears’ “Oops!…I Did It Again.”

Rae began to branch off from her TikTok fame in 2021 with her single “Obsessed” as well as her first film role in Netflix’s He’s All That. Last year, after several demos and songs leaked online, Rae dropped the EP AR via Sandlot Records. She also starred in Eli Roth’s slasher film Thanksgiving. Her viral summer single “Diet Pepsi” was Rae’s first with Columbia Records and has been slowly climbing up the Billboard Hot 100 since it debuted at Number 88 on the chart. It currently sits at Number 54.

Rae has been an instrumental part of friend Charli XCX‘s Brat rollout. She performed at XCX’s Boiler Room set in February, appeared on a remix of “Von Dutch” and has performed said remix live with the UK star at her album release show in Los Angeles and later during the New York City stop of her Sweat Tour she co-headlined with Troye Sivan. Rae performed the live debut of “Diet Pepsi” during the NYC Sweat Tour stop as well.
