During a conversation with W Magazine, Addison recalled joining Lana Del Rey onstage at Wembley Stadium for a surprise duet of her song, “Diet Pepsi.”
I learned so much about myself and about Lana…Standing beside someone I admire, who lives her truth so gracefully, was life-changing. It all came together magically and unexpectedly. That was monumental for me,” she said.
As far as her critically acclaimed debut album, she said: “I’m a very visual person, so everything was mapped out: colors, themes, how I wanted to translate them into a project. I made a binder. I printed out photos and colors and words. Before the album had any sonic world, before there was any audio involved, it was just purely visions, visuals, words.”
Addison also talked about working with the album’s sole collaborators, Swedish producers Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser, on the album.
“We were three girls in a room…It was a very fun and free-flowing environment. There was no pressure to force ourselves to make an album or a certain number of songs. It just happened gradually over time…We had this really magic moment making ‘Diet Pepsi’ on the first day we met, which is really crazy and almost seems so unrealistic.”
“The magic really happens when you start creating purely for yourself. People connect with it so much more, because there’s something genuine to discover. I seek fearlessness. I want to be honest. I want to follow my gut,” she said of her artistic instinct.
