7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: I was saying. I was saying during that song that

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: when we're out auditioning with Katie Luke and Lionel I

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: talked to a lot of the contestants for American Idol

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: at the Door and one of the common names that

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: comes up as inspiration for being on the show is

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: Tate mcray.

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: What So that's so crazy that I literally would never

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 3: think that.

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you're influencing true like a new generation of

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: singers already, which is crazy. Right.

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 4: Wow, that's so cool, So.

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: Congratulations, thank you.

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: The other thing that I keep seeing are girls in

20
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: front of their garage doors on TikTok singing reedy.

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 4: Me too, bringing it doing a dance. I need to

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 4: learn that dance. There's so many different dances.

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: So what why do you I mean that it's a

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: great song.

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play it here in just a second, but

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: it really struck a lot of people.

27
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what happened. I think it was

28
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: just like very cool for me because I think I

29
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: haven't released music in like eleven months. Like I was

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: kind of like, how do I want to come back?

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: And this song is like pretty like ballsy for me

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: in a sense. I think it shows like a totally

33
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: different side of my personality that my like none of

34
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: my listeners really knew of me. So I was really nervous.

35
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: And also the beat was so like risky. I feel like,

36
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: you know, bringing back kind of like old pop music

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: Timbaland beats is like something that just like isn't happening,

38
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: And so I was nervous. I was like, I don't

39
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: know if people are gonna like absolutely despise this song

40
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: or like it.

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: And so we.

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: Don't second guess yourself. Let's just go through a little sequence.

43
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: Here where you get.

44
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: You all the same you miss so.

45
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: That like a different chapter of your life. Here's another chapter.

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: And then the greedy song we're talking about, which we'll

47
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: play and it's entirely in a second, just to give

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: you a little bit, Yes, you were born in the

49
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: two thousands, right, Yeah, two thousand and three, two thousands.

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: Born that timb Balam beat was was playing at your birthday? Yeah,

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: in the house, it literally could.

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: Have been exactly.

53
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: But when you listen.

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Back Tate McRae, do you do you feel like you've

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: grown so much in between each of those tracks?

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

57
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: I mean I released You Spoke Me Verse when I

58
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: was sixteen, and crazy the difference between sixteen and twenty.

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: I feel like you live like ten different lives in between.

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: Like that period of time, I just feel like a

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: completely different person. I also released that song on the Pandemic.

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that I wanted to be a

63
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 3: singer yet, so it was like, like.

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: There's just so much for you considering. I know you're sixteen,

65
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: but what else were you considering doing.

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: I genuinely I thought I was gonnaa like grow up

67
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: and be like a backup dancer.

68
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: On stage.

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Like that was like the dream for Usher at the

70
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl.

71
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: Don't we all have that dream every day?

73
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just I don't even feel remotely similar

74
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: to how I did at sixteen, and so it's crazy

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: like I'm watching myself like actually grow up into an adult,

76
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: Like you know, over the last four years on the internet,

77
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: and throughout my songs, and it's very crazy.

78
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Do you do you live in any Is there normalcy

79
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: to your life? Yeah, he's pretty chill.

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: I mean I'm from Calgary, Canada, so I think so

81
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: it means.

82
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: You can't be pretentious. No, you have to be chilled.

83
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: My family makes sure I'm grounded, I think.

84
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

85
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: I just I feel like I'm around such normal people

86
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: and do such normal things when I'm back home and

87
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: my family is just you know, so cool that I

88
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: feel like I would I try to keep it as

89
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: like normal as possible. I think I am not too

90
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: like in the LA scene yet or anything or that's good.

91
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but do you like I think we all

92
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: all of us here want to make our parents like

93
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: happy and proud and feel good about the person that

94
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: they raised. What did they say to you about your

95
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: crazy life and success, Tate mcray?

96
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 4: I think they're really proud.

97
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: It's been like a weird experience because I've been you know,

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: dancing my whole life, and I've gone through like so

99
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: many different chapters of my life. So I think when

100
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: things happen, we are all kind of like just like

101
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: shocked every single time, and even when like you broke

102
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: me first kind of took off for the first time.

103
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I was like, we're stuck in our house,

104
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: like we couldn't even.

105
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: Like leave right you couldn't see people react to.

106
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: We couldn't see anyone react to it. And so this

107
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: right now feels very surreal because in real time, like

108
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: they're watching, you know, Greedy be perceived at shows for

109
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: the first time when it's been out for like two weeks,

110
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: and so I think it's like actually feeling real for

111
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: the first time, and it's very special, Like this is

112
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: how quick the reaction actually is, Like you didn't get

113
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: to see this before, no, and like even you know,

114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: I premiered the song like a night before and actually

115
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: got released in Philly, and like as soon as it

116
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: started playing, like they knew all the words that I'd like,

117
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: you tease it for a minute and then we're good,

118
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: Like this is gonna be good.

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: If you're having a rough day and you have you

120
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: see that kind of instant reaction to your lyrics, your

121
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: thoughts and your music and your rhythm that makes you

122
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: feel better fast one percent.

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, shows are everything, all.

124
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Right, let's come back. Tate mcray is here. Her father

125
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: is a lawyer. Her mom is a dance teacher. You

126
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: should just know that. That's that's why she's so grounded.

127
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: And we are gonna we're gonna pay a bill on

128
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,640

00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: we're watching Tate mcray listen to Tate mc ray. I

131
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: still always a curious to know what is it like

132
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: to hear yourself when you get into an uber and

133
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: a song comes on the radio.

134
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: Oh, I still get so excited.

135
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: Do you tell them that it's you?

136
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,320

137
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: Ye?

138
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: So that's how we're different.

139
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: I'm spitting at the back, looking at them through the mirror, like, well,

140
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: what if they.

141
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,560

Speaker 4: very nervous.

145
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: See, that's how we're different.

146
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: If Tanya and Cis and I were in a girl group,

147
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: we would for sure tell the Uber driver that's us.

148
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I tell the Uber driver that's my commercial.
