When I first heard the name Tate McRae, it was through a single she featured on with one of my favorite artists (and I do have a lot), Myles Erlick, called "All Day All Night" (still one of my favorite Myles hits to date). Some years after, I returned to her music with her moody single "don't be sad" and had noticed a particular solemness that came with her tracks pre-THINK LATER, which were obviously good and greatly paid off, as she had multiple hits, including "you broke me first" (which has 1+ billion Spotify streams thus far). Then, during the final days of December 2022, I completely felt a new shift coming in McRae's music when I listened to the New Year's-inspired dance hit she and Tiësto collaborated on, "10:35", signifying a change to a more pop-dance sound, which is very evident on her 2023 sophomore effort, THINK LATER. With its preceding singles "greedy" and "exes", Tate's star is only going to get brighter and brighter!
