Recent reviews

So Close To What is momentum refined into confidence. Focused, current, and controlled, the album shows Tate McRae consolidating her pop instincts with clarity. It’s not a dramatic emotional reveal; it’s a statement of steadiness and growth.


Sonically, the record leans into sleek dance-pop and modern alt-pop with a strong rhythmic core. Production is tight and contemporary, built for movement and replay. The sound stays cohesive without feeling rushed, striking a balance between immediacy and polish.


Lyrically, the album explores ambition, desire, self-doubt, and emotional push-and-pull. Tate writes with awareness and composure, articulating tension without collapsing into it. While the emotions are often contained rather than explosive, they’re consistently present and relatable.


The album earns 4 stars because it delivers reliability and cohesion. It may not risk everything or dig as deep as her most vulnerable work, but it succeeds as a solid, well-executed pop album with clear intent and replay value.


So Close To What confirms Tate McRae’s position as a confident, capable pop artist. It’s a strong step forward that doesn’t overreach, choosing consistency over spectacle.


Favorite Track: It’s ok I’m ok
