The production is nice but her vocals are as lifeless as Dixie's.

I can't at a social media star's debut single being about how she's obsessed with herself. It's so on the nose.

With all that has been happening....who thought that the 3,000 ounces of bronzer on her Lily Northern European skin was a good idea? She almost looks like a South Asian movie star like Priyanka Chopra or Jaqueline Fernandez.

This is like that time Heidi Montag tried to break into the music industry. All these talentless girls thinking they could do something more. Wish they would stay in their lanes and enjoy their millions.

The Kim and Heidi comparisons are total BS, I know nothing about Addison but one listen to this alone tells me that she is MUCH more competent a vocalist than either of them. Even if she only sounds as competent as she does because of professional grade vocal production and effects, her raw vocals would still have to be better than either of them could serve up. The Dixie comparison is the fairest one I think, and even then I'd give Addison the points over Dixie because what I recall of Dixie's vocals was very talking-on-pitch less than actual singing (and the songs sucked). Addison, at least on this, sounds like she can actually sing to some extent.
If this were any other random pop girl the only thing you could pick apart is the lyrical concept, because the vocals and production are perfectly serviceable for what they are.

I like this. This is going to sound strange but parts of this is giving me "Cassie" vibes.

I likened her to Kim K because she sounds autotuned and bored. A more realistic comparison would be Selena Gomez I think, both her vocal capability and her sound give me very much "Look At Her Now"-but-worse.

Charli XCX is in the studio with Addison Rae.
Rae is teasing an βObsessedβ remix featuring XCX. Charli, meanwhile, is promoting βUnlock Itβ because itβs viral on TikTok

Not only is the song embarrassing, but that performance on Fallon was as well.

What was bad about that performance?? Yes it was lipped but there are many now a days that are?? I believe her strong suit is dance according to my friends 23 year old daughter? It did look more like a music video but so do many during quarantine. I was expecting to see a disaster...

She is doing everything a fake TV/movie popstar would do. Even the song sounds like it.

She is doing everything a fake TV/movie popstar would do. Even the song sounds like it. So she's basically like MANY pop stars today..... Her style is smoke and mirriors and is not to be taken that seriously. Come on it's not like she's trying to be the next "Lorde" and is all about art.... lol I'm surprised this thread even has as much attention as it does. I guess I can see why she took on this song. lol

This song is actually pretty good, though lol. Her voice is relatively unoffensive and pleasant. No idea if she has any talent tho ha.
