Under the watch of a stock computer camera and above a gaffer-taped-up digital keyboard, Tate McRae broadcasts un-delayed, unfiltered, and undeniable feelings straight from the heart. The Calgary, Alberta singer and songwriter transmits emotion in its purest form by way of intimate instrumentation and dynamic delivery. By the age of sixteen, she quietly amassed 114 million YouTube views and a total of 60 million cumulative streams in addition to winning over fans worldwide to the tune of 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and 872K Instagram followers.

This vulnerable approach fuels her 2019 debut for RCA Records, all the things i never said.

"My songs are all of the words I can never say," she explains. "I have a very hard time conveying my feelings through speaking, so I write in order to express myself. I sit in front of the piano and try to tell a story. Writing is how I let out everything that's happened to me. It's my way of really communicating."

Introducing a singular style, her official 2019 debut single "Tear Myself Apart" pairs stark piano and static beats with vulnerable verses. Everything builds towards a confessional chorus, "I'm left alone to tear myself apart. You make it look so easy, turn around and leave me. I'm left alone to tear myself apart."

"It's a very dramatic and intense song, but it's real and honest," she admits. "It's easy to get caught up in a relationship and take everything out on yourself. 'Tear Myself Apart' comes directly from the heart."

As she readies more music and prepares to tour, Tate continues to connect on the deepest level possible - just like she did when she first started in her room back in Alberta.

"I just want to share my music with the world and hopefully make others feel something on a super personal level," she leaves off. "My goal is for you to relate and hopefully be moved."
