In a recent interview on The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1, Addison opened up about finally releasing her debut album.
“I think I’m in the space right now where I’m just really anticipating it coming out, and I’m like trying to hit all the stops. Even like with posting and feeling like, ‘Okay, well, I really want to make sure I give this the credit and the energy that it deserves,’” she said. “I think sometimes I shy away from that because I’ll be like, ‘Well, I don’t know, I’m already putting this out. Is it going to be too much if I’m just like, all right, everybody, the album’s this many days away, like every two days. Sometimes I’ll get onto myself about that, and I’ll be like, ‘No, it deserves that.’”
“It’s a super interesting observation, because what my base take on that, knowing a lot– well, okay, yes, I can say this, speaking the language of the artist for a long, long time. It’s a different feeling to anything else you’ve gotten in front of and promoted before. It comes from a deeper place. Do I do that to this? Because I’m like it’s so intimate and so precious that I don’t want it to feel gimmicky in that way sometimes, which it can feel like when you’re used to getting paid to promote this or whatever. Even whenever I first started TikTok, like that feeling of that. No, I think this project to me deserves that energy from me.”
Addison continued, “It deserves that aggressiveness towards getting people to open up and listen to it because then, why else? Obviously, I made it for myself and I made it for my friends and the people that around me create with me to it. I also think we want people to hear music. That’s why we create.”
