    Tate's debut album is an emotional rollercoaster. It's like watching a movie but through music. There are songs that many people can relate to, songs people can cry to, and songs where people feel badass. She showcases her impressive vocals and her versatility throughout the album. It's one of the best albums of this year.

    My Top 5: 1. what would you do? 2. what's your problem? 3.

    It's a great debut album by a 18 years old. There are a lot of mature lyrics. But some songs sounds the same. I think the best one is 'she's all i wanna be'.

    2.She's All I Wanna Be
    3.What Would You Do
    4.Chaotic
    5.what's your problem

    Uma ótima estreia para Tate McRae que até agora já nos tinha prendido com alguns dos seus singles. Este é um album com conceito, emotivo, forte, que nos apresenta uma das promessas do pop.

    I am astounded and astonished by young Tate's artistry. At such a young age she has established herself In the music industry. Not a single complaint about this record, would recommend.

    Wow! ‘i used to think i could fly’ is an incredible album that shows the talent that Tate has with writing music. The album consists of upbeat songs like ‘she’s all i wanna be’, to songs that make you cry every time you listen (boy x). This is a fantastic album!

    By far the best album I've heard this year, along with "Superache" by conan gray. Tate's songwriting has improved greatly and it really shows on this album! My favourites are 'boy x' 'hate myself' and 'what would you do?'

    That McRae also manages to bring a hooky sense of pop joy to the album speaks to her growing maturity as an artist.

    Apart from some missteps—like the excruciating Finneas-produced “i still say goodnight”—i used to think i could fly soars with confidence, a record that remains absolutely sure of itself even as McRae’s emotions vacillate between bravado and self-immolation.
