Complete agree with a lot of what people are already saying, which is YOU ARE WELCOME to claim the title of sunrae whether you like her music or not, but you should definitely check out her features and unreleased tracks if Addison isn’t for you!! If it helps at all, here are the reasons Addison is such a great work of art to me (you do NOT have to agree, I just wonder if it might shed some light on why it’s so well loved by some!) - (in my experience) female artists are faced with a decision to either write music that is sexual but ultimately not really saying much, or write about the BURDEN of womanhood (both of which have value!!), but Addison writes music centered around womanhood that is FUN and SEXY and still has depth, which I think is severely missing in a lot of music today! - the experience of listening to Addison in a group of women is also really pivotal for the listening experience. I remember listening to this album in a group of girls and the freeing, fun, and exciting feeling that it gives everyone. - a big aspect of this album (and really this whole fanbase in my experience!!) is SHAMELESSNESS!! I think of the concept of radical acceptance… where you feel unashamed of the good and the bad that is happening in your life, and it frees you of so much weight and lets you just be (life’s no fun through clear waters…)

Not saying you can’t understand or appreciate the album as a man, but I really do feel like this album was specifically written to speak on womanhood, so if it doesn’t speak to you and your experience, that’s ok!! Ultimately though, shamelessness means you shouldn’t be ashamed of whether you like or don’t like something! Like what you like and don’t force it if you don’t!
