A duet with McRae’s boyfriend, The Kid LAROI, “I know love,” is contemporary romance with its trappy hi-hats and nonchalant energy. The album’s verve starts to wane toward the last tracks like in the soft, casual “Green Light,” or “Nostalgia,” which breaks out the acoustic guitar and lets McRae really showcase her vocals.

Tate McRae looks to inspiration from Britney Spears and Nelly Furtado on her nostalgia-indebted third album 'So Close to What.'

Fortunately for the squeamish among us, that’s the only parallel; McRae is joined by dancers in matching all-white outfits as they run through the choreography and director Aerin Moreno plays havoc with the flow of time.
