TATE MCRAE RELEASES NEW SONG AND VIDEO FOR “It’s ok I’m ok”

Today, multi-platinum pop sensation Tate McRae releases her new song “It’s ok I’m ok” alongside the official music video via RCA Records. Written and produced with hitmakers Ryan Tedder (Taylor Swift, Beyoncé), ILYA (Ariana Grande, ROSALÍA) and Savan Kotecha (The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding), “It’s ok I’m ok” marks a new chapter for the star. 

Featuring an irresistible chorus, the pop-infused offering is accompanied by a killer dance visual. Directed by Hannah Lux Davis (Doja Cat, Charlie XCX) and choreographed by Sean Bankhead (Cardi B, Lil Nas X), the high-energy music video follows an unbothered Tate strutting through city streets. Her presence is both commanding and seductive, drawing you into her world without wanting to look away.

Tate adds, “I’m so beyond excited to share “It’s ok I’m ok” with the world and this new chapter of my music. This song is a byproduct of reflecting back on past relationships to now and how much I’ve grown and learned from them. It’s a playful take on knowing your worth and the all too relatable feeling of never wanting someone back.”

“It’s ok I’m ok” is the first taste of new music from Tate following her highly anticipated 2023 sophomore album THINK LATER which debuted at #3 in Canada. Steeped in pop appeal and infectious toplines, the album features the 5x Platinum single “greedy” which earned Tate #1 on the Billboard Canadian 100 chart, Global Excl. US chart, Spotify’s Global chart, and hit #1 at CA Top 40 and CA Hot AC. 

She’s currently on her sold out global ‘THINK LATER TOUR’ spanning 59-dates throughout Europe, UK, North America, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. With a handful of shows left, this tour has already seen Tate play the biggest and most iconic venues of her career. Last month, she played her first headline show at Madison Square Garden.

starting the next one!

i did some Photoshop processing on this reference image to help me push the colours using the gouache palette i have.

For these, I've been doing an underpainting of big colour washes, and in gouache that can be dangerous - water will lift paint back up off the page and it could contaminate the layers I'll put on top, which is the opposite of the stark contrast I'm hoping to achieve. So after my underpainting had dried completely, I put on a thin wash of transparent watercolour ground, and I'm delighted to say it's working like magic! No lifting or contaminating or colours from the underpainting into the actual painting 🤘🤘

ART PRACTICE

Texture is an important component to my art practice and hints at the unspeakable stories that lie underneath the surface of both the art and the artist.

The geometric patterns in this work illustrate the range of movement associated with the process—sharp edges colliding, shattering and realigning— and allude to the ways that oppressed groups might eventually break through.

LUBALIN ANNOUNCES "HAHA, NO WORRIES" ALBUM OUT DECEMBER 6- AND HER NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY

Today songwriter, producer, and long-time collaborator with 6-time JUNO winner Charlotte Cardin, Lubalin, shares his latest single, “bullet time”, a powerful blend of raw emotion, sharp lyricism, and unrestrained vocals.

After skyrocketing into TikTok fame at the end of 2020 with his “internet drama” parody videos and co-writing/co-producing much of Cardin’s JUNO Album of the Year winning 99 Nights record, Lubalin is coming into his own as a multi-talented solo artist.

Lubalin describes the track’s creative process, saying: “Charlotte Cardin, Jason Brando and I originally wrote this song while we were writing for Charlotte's album, 99 Nights. We actually wrestled with it quite a bit. We knew we had something, but we just couldn't get it to click, and in the end, it just didn't fit Charlotte's sound at the time, so we shelved it. Eventually, the sound started to emerge for this album. There's a lot of drum & bass inspiration, organic drum breaks, this sense of motion, chopped background vocals... it's very cool, but I also like things that are right on the edge of being cheesy. It's almost like ‘The Matrix’ soundtrack meets 2000s soft pop.”

On his forthcoming debut album haha, no worries, Lubalin blurs the line between child-like wonder and decidedly adult self-doubt. Mining an overlooked vein of experience, the everyday interactions and off-the-cuff communications we toss back and forth with little thought - presenting a series of emotionally raw but meticulously crafted observations with a wry sense of humour and a gleeful disregard for convention.

Blending pop-leaning drum & bass influences, 2000s-era electro-pop, indie, and alt. rock, the Montreal-based artist/producer juxtaposes urgent, often frenetic rhythms and vocal loops against deceptively laid-back vocals and instrumental tracks that rely heavily on the duality that informs his music and life.
