In the ever-changing world of music, one name has recently made itself known to everyone: Tate McRae, the haunting melody singer-songwriter sensation from Canada whose rise to success is as incredible as her sound. At 18-years of age, Tate had already proved that she is a force to be reckoned with in the music world. Her music is mature far beyond her years spent on this planet, but her story is far from the typical prodigy scenario we have grown accustomed to. Tate’s success is completely self-made and her journey into the music industry is a testament to pure, hard-boiled dedication and love for the art of songwriting.
What really sets McRae aside from others is her untamed ability to embody her emotion in her music. She’s not just singing in these songs, she’s opening up a window to her world and allowing others to take a peek inside. +Her dreamy, edgy voice breathes life into a variety of emotions in all of her songs — more specifically a deadly and beautiful mix of heartache and longing with a hint of pure happiness.
Her voice alone is captivating, but it’s Tate’s ability to tell stories with lyrics that is truly impressive. And she is one hell of a storyteller. When Tate spins a tale, she doesn’t just recount a story, she sweeps you up and immerses you in it. It’s as if every note she’s ever written is like parchment in her hands and her pen is an old-school quill with which she gently sketches stories of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Listening to them play out is like watching the most mesmerizing dance; her emotions ripple across the paper, leaving behind vivid moments in song.
Even more impressive is Tate’s start. It began on YouTube, where she showcased her dancing skills, and then her singing. And then she uploaded to the web “One Day,” a song that has since snagged millions of views and even the attention of the music industry.
Tate McRae is a multi-faceted songwriter who prefers not to define her genre, but we can tell you her music is a colorful mix of influences. She comfortably walks the line between pop, R&B and indie, laying the foundation for a sound that’s all Tate. It’s this openness to experiment with music that makes Tate the ultimate breath of fresh air in a genre that often consists of more bad than good.
It is her live performance that one has got to witness, Arie has a cracling energy in her performances that fills the air. On stage she is has a powerful electricity that is not present in her recordings. Arie doesn’t just sing. She unleashes the song, she becomes the song merging with the audience.’,
In a world where authenticity is a commodity more elusive than the Hope Diamond, Tate McRae is shining. She’s one of the few “young” artists who truly wear their hearts on their sleeves. There is no pretense, no airs, no walls. McRae, whose latest song, “You Broke Me First,” is her third to hit the Top 10 on the Billboard singles chart in less than year, is the rarest of birds. Her success is a reminder that simple genius can still find a way.
Tate McRae is much more than a standard artist. To be truly honest, she’s more of a magician — an alchemist shifting emotions into music. She’s practically capable of making anything. Quite simply, she’s fearless. As her journey flourishes before her, the world has no doubt that Tate’s tales — and the melodies that come with them — will be the background for each and every one of our exhilarating lives.
