    McRae delivers on the promise of Think Later, levelling up with this set of addictive pop gems and heartfelt confessionals.

    Pop music has become saturated with soft, emotional ballads (the songs of Billie Eilish and Gracie Abrams spring to mind). McRae offers a welcome change – if you want tunes packed with snappy, catchy choruses and racy lyrics that make you feel powerful and sexy, then look no further.

    This is a collection both provocative and vigorous, covered in a sleek wrapper that hides the introspective side lurking beneath. So Close To What is hit after hit – it’s her most convincing argument of superstardom yet.

    A sleek, fast-moving collection of darkly hued pop confections.

    Despite a relatively robust 15-track length, it never loses focus. And what McRae can sometimes lack in persona she makes up for in precision.

    The project is full of snappy, polished pop-R&B songs that never go too far astray in quality but can be a repetitive experience when considered as a whole.

    With a few exceptions, McRae’s latest album is decidedly mid.
