Tate McRae Has Announced Her Debut Album ‘I Used To Think I Could Fly’
Tate McRae’s debut album, ‘I Used To Think I Could Fly,’ has been announced. ‘She’s All I Wanna Be,’ ‘Chaotic,’ and ‘Feel Like S**t’ are among the previously released tracks on the album, which will be released on 27th May. Following her 2021 EP, ‘Too Young To Be Sad,’ she releases her first studio full-length album.
McRae will also begin a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland on 12th June at Manchester’s O2 Ritz. Shawn Mendes’ 2022 tour will also feature the singer as a special guest. McRae remarked in an interview with NME about her debut album last year: “I like to try to analyse structures of different albums and see what kind mine might be similar to,” citing the labyrinth structure of Frank Ocean’s ‘Blonde,’ Billie Eilish’s debut ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go,’ and The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours’ as examples.
“The cool thing about ‘Blonde’,” she said, “is that I don’t think I’ve heard one song that sounds anything the same to him and, you know, the cool part is it kind of just makes you want to push yourself.”
McRae also discussed the pressures she’s been under since her debut single, “One Day,” was released in 2017.
“I just want to work as hard as I can to live up to my own expectations and everyone else’s,” she told NME. “I guess it’s a bit of pressure but if you put your head down and work at it, you can kind of ignore those outside feelings of anxiety and stress. It’s just about indulging in your work and making sure that you’re doing the best that you can at all times.”
