Calgary's own pop princess Tate McRae has been riding the momentum of her 2023 sophomore album's hit singles like "greedy" and "exes" — as well as more recent standalone track "It's ok I'm ok" — while touring the world this year. Now, she's announced the forthcoming release of her third studio record, which is set to be previewed by new single "2 hands" later today, and a 2025 world tour announcement.
So Close to What is due February 21 through RCA Records as the follow-up to last year's Think Later. McRae shared the news on Instagram, writing, "Making this album has been the most beautiful and exciting journey & i cannot wait to finally share it with you !!!!!!!!!!"
While So Close to What is available for pre-order now, we'll have to wait a little bit longer to hear a taste of it: the single "2 hands" will be released later today at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, alongside the premiere of a music video. Other details on the album remain sparse as of yet, so stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
McRae's Miss Possessive Tour with Zara Larsson will bring her to North America next summer, with Canadian shows scheduled in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal for August. You can sign up to access the presale — beginning November 20 — here until November 18 ahead of tickets going on sale to the general public on November 22. See the full list of dates below.
