Pop superstar, songwriter, actress and cultural phenomenon Addison Rae has released her latest single “High Fashion” via Columbia Records with cinematic new music video available for streaming on all digital platforms. Listen to the new song and watch the Mitch Ryan directed video here. 

The song lyrics were first teased last month when Addison was spotted wearing a t-shirt with the chorus written in hot pink letters. The lyrics were then published in the February 2025 issue of Rolling Stone where Addison graced the cover shot by the iconic Inez & Vinoodh.

Addison announced the track’s Valentine’s Day release date with an official teaser unveiled Monday. Filmed in her home state of Louisiana, the video—with creative by Addison Rae, Lexee Smith & Mitch Ryan—delivers all the fashion its title promises, with styling by her frequent collaborator DARA, makeup by the iconic Dame Pat McGrath, hair by Lucas Wilson, and nails by Mei. “I don’t need your drugs, I’d rather get high fashion,” Addison declares, as the video takes fans on a dazzling, chaotic ride through clouds of glitter, a burning field, and a striking homage to The Wizard of Oz with an iconic pair of ruby slippers.

The award-winning Filipino band will also embark on a global tour across five cities in Asia and North America

Indie pop quartet Orange & Lemons marks the season of romance with a fresh take on The Carpenters’ timeless classic “Close To You.”

Released just in time for Valentine’s Day, the band’s cover brings a modern twist to the iconic track while preserving the original’s emotional essence.

The remake of “Close To You” features subtle upgrades and embellishments from their usual live version.

Clem Castro, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band, recalls the origins of the cover, which dates back to 1999 when the Bulacan-based band was preparing the material for their debut album, Love In the Land of Rubber Shoes & Dirty Ice Cream. He explains, “I was inspired to create a cover version for live gigs and challenged ourselves to integrate our own sound. It has been a staple since then on our set list. On top of that, I am a huge fan of Burt Bacharach.”
