There is no concept of a "current address". You can request a new address using the getnewaddress RPC.

You can mention the wallet with -rpcwallet followed by command trying to execute for this wallet

Example:

If there are two wallets w1 and w2 and I want to get a new address from w1 wallet, the command will be:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=w1 getnewaddress
```
If the wallet is not loaded it will return error and you will have to load the wallet first with loadwallet
