After releasing her second EP, Too Young To Be Sad, last March, McRae’s breakout hit, “You Broke Me First,” reached a new peak of No. 17 on the Hot 100. She added four more entries on the chart ahead of the release of her debut album, I Used To Think I Could Fly (out May 27). McRae says she has learned “to always trust my gut ... my own instinct is what I always end up gravitating toward and is what I’m most proud of.” Having recently toured for the first time, McRae says she can’t wait to continue traveling and performing, “as it completely changes my perspective on the songs I write ... There are so many things I have yet to experience, so my music/writing is genuinely shifting and changing in real time.”
