"THINK LATER" - Tate McRae Album Review

Tate McRae is a 20-year-old Canadian singer who has taken the world by storm. McRae has embodied the pop princess persona, and this is truly something that the music industry needed.

McRae has been well known in the art industry for years now, as she has been world renowned and known as a dancer in her early childhood. McRae won “Mini Best Female Dancer” in 2013 at “The Dance Awards,” which should summarize how talented this young girl has been.

McRae might have gotten her start as a dancer, but in 2017 she began to diverge towards a singing and music career. She since then has released a lot of famous songs, such as “You Broke Me First” and “She’s All I Wanna Be.”

Honestly, McRae is well known amongst the TikTok community, and this act of her influencer persona is what has made this new album “THINK LATER” a rockstar piece of music.

“THINK LATER” was released on December 8, 2023, as McRae’s sophomore album. The album released two singles before December 8, which were “Greedy” and “Exes.” Both of these songs went viral on TikTok and aided in this sophomore album having the most intense amount of publicity.

“THINK LATER” is truly a pop princess rockstar album, giving the vibes of Sabrina Carpenter and Brittany Spears. McRae has blown her musical performances out of the water, and the resurgence of glitz and glamor is underway.

The album opens with the song “Cut My Hair,” which truly sets the album up for the pop hits that are about to grace ears all around the world. “Greedy” plays next, which is perfectly placed to make the intro of the album packed with power.

The following songs “Grave” and “Messier” are emotional yet entertaining in a way that feels like summer. These songs are deep lyrically and portray the vibe of driving with the windows down during sunset.

Overall, the album is truly the embodiment of dancing alone in your room and portraying a pop star. McRae absolutely shines in this album, and hopefully, an upcoming tour will solidify her spot as a historical pop star.
