Tate McRae, a 21-year-old singer and songwriter, released her newest album, ‘So Close to What’ on Feb. 21. Her third album is an exquisite blend of nostalgic pop, as many of the songs bare a resemblance to the iconic Britney Spears — who has interviewed McRae for GEN V.

Humor turns out to be one of McRae’s greatest strengths, whether she’s telling a man to cut the sentimentality and simply touch her on “2 Hands,” or she’s pulling out gasp-inducing couplets like: “I’m losin’ my mind ’cause giving you head’s / The only time you think I got depth” in “Purple Lace Bra,” a song she considers a personal favorite.
