Teasing that her new full length will see her enter her “fierce era,” Tate McRae has channelled her live alter ego, Tatiana, who she describes as having a “confident girl power identity.”
Taking to GRAMMY.com about her follow-up to 2023’s ‘Think Later’, McRae reflected on her biggest career achievements, writing:
“The next album is coming along, which is a crazy thing to say. All the music I’m creating right now definitely feels like a fierce era for me; a lot of it is inspired by performing. Since touring, it feels like I’ve completely found another identity that was somewhere inside of me. I always say that there is Tate, and my alter ego, Tatiana, takes over when I’m performing. As soon as I get on stage, I feel like I fully become that person. A lot of these new songs are not how I would talk in real life, but I wanted to extend this fierce, confident girl power identity of Tatiana and have that be the starter of this cycle.”
Now 21-years-old, during her concerts Tate expresses herself through dance and admits she doesn’t get a “feel” for her full length LPs until she’s performed the songs onstage.
“Visually, it’s so important for me to create a world and have all the pieces connect together to the album. Whenever I have an album, I need to have some sort of life epiphany. I hope that all of that comes together, and the pieces really feel satisfying when they fit together.” “I’m excited to translate that feeling to touring and performing because that’s when I really feel the album for the first time. I don’t know what colour this era will be. THINK LATER was definitely blues, blacks, whites and greys. We’ll have to see what this new era unfolds into,” stated Tate McRae.
