Grabbing the attention of Pop Culture is one of the hardest things to do as a rising artist, however pop singer Tate McRae has made it look so simple. 

This past February Tate released her third studio album “So Close to What” and her catchy and upbeat songs are taking over playlists everywhere. Consisting of three singles, twelve regular tracks, and a bonus track, the album is really fun to listen to and sing along with. 

I talked to an avid Tate fan, Sophia Hodges, and she said she is always playing it in her car and in her air pods. She actually has tickets to Tate’s tour this summer, that just began on March 18th, and she said that, “this album is very different compared to her other albums, it seems like more of an “alter ego” of hers and shows that she is talented enough to do different styles of music.” 

This album is great for a workout playlist, a mood lift, and summer drives with the windows down. 

Here is the track list with some highlights from the songs: 

1. Miss Possessive 

Super upbeat and fun, and relatable for a lot of listeners 

2. Hands (single) 

This is a song that is definitely going to get stuck in your head with its catchy beat. 

3. Revolving Door 

This is one of the favorites on the album, and has a music video to go with it, that shows off her dance background. 

4. bloodonmyhands ft. Flo Mili 

This song is very cool, and the feature of Flo Mili sets it apart from the other tracks. 

5. Dear God 

This song has a very fun beat and is so catchy. 

6. Purple Lace Bra 

This is a more risqué song on the album but is relatable for some relationships. 

7. Sports car (single) 

This was the last single released before the album and has very unique background music. 

8. Signs 

This song has a great beat and a super relatable message. 

9. I Know Love ft. Kid Laroi 

This is a super interesting song because Kid Laroi is actually her boyfriend 

10. Like I do 

There is a more mysterious and cool feeling to this song, and it is super fun to listen to. 

11. Its ok I’m ok (single) 

This single came out a while ago and you have probably heard its catchy chorus on Tik Tok. 

12. No I’m Not In Love 

The clever lyrics make this song really fun to sing along with. 

13. Means I Care 

Despite its upbeat background and vocals, this is one of her more vulnerable songs on the album 

14. Greenlight 

This song was a favorite for many listeners very quickly and is really catchy. 

15. Nostalgia 

This song is much slower and heartfelt than the others on the album and shows more of her emotion in her singing. 

16. Siren Sounds (bonus) 

This song was originally not on the album, but we are so lucky she decided to release it! It’s upbeat with a really interesting background track.
