    Small misses are forgiven, however, because So Close to What doesn’t market itself as a confessional record in the first place. The upbeat tracks are streamlined enough to survive on their own.

    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.

    There’s no harm in taking inspiration from others. But here, it sounds like McRae and her writing team hopped on the left-of-center-pop bandwagon without building out something new and wholly Tate—and it’s hard to make leftovers taste as enticing as when they were first served hot and fresh.
