Dec 18, 2023Revealing McRae as a potent voice and keen ear that can deliver emotion and excitement in equal measure.
-
Dec 11, 2023At 14 songs, there are misfires that could have been pruned – Run for the Hills is generic, algorithmic trap-pop – but overall, Think Later feels like McRae’s ticket to the big leagues.
-
Dec 8, 2023McRae is evidently still wrestling with her ambitions. ‘Think Later’, however, contains enough intrigue to suggest that this is the work of an artist finally honing their identity, dancing and sparkling all the way.
-
Dec 8, 2023The mix of trap grooves and synth balladry is perfectly of the moment, lacking the boldness of a truly original talent. Yet there is something appealing in the sweet melodies and sour attitude of a singer who sounds like she might actually be starting to enjoy herself.
-
Dec 8, 2023The record is an earworm that channels the spirit of Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous” so deeply that you’d assume the fellow Canadian pop star’s name would be listed in the credits. .... She sounds as if she’s most comfortable veering into the fast lane.
-
Dec 8, 2023While her debut could in places feel slight, this new record feels lived-in, and true.
-
Dec 8, 2023No, ‘Think Later’ doesn’t come close to reinventing the wheel (or pop), but it does drench itself within a pop maximalism full of fuel, energy and modernity.
-
Dec 13, 2023She’s infectious on stage, and her videos and performances are all planned and conceptualized. But THINK LATER is a little too hollow, a little too cohesive, to make any big statements right now.
-
Dec 15, 2023THINK LATER is full of homogeneous trap-pop ballads devoted to one-dimensional introspection.
-
Dec 8, 2023McRae is still fitting a lot of currently popular boxes without escaping them. There are highlights, but the overwhelming impression is of placeholder pop, filling space until something different comes along.
