McRae‘s voice expertly embodies both the heartbreak of being left and of doing the leaving. On top of her excellent songwriting, McRae simply has an exceptional, acrobatic voice. Wispy and textured at times, clear and bright at others, McRae’s singing is surprising and multidimensional in much the same way as her lyrics. When the country-adjacent stealth single “Savannah” hits its crescendo, for example, it’s clear McRae is an artist with her own singular power, as piano layers with guitar and McRae delivers a series of scathing indictments with grit and conviction: „You swore you’d raise our kids to end up just like you / well you’re a false prophet / and that’s a goddamn promise.” „Let Me Be Wrong” is a buoyant ode to rejecting perfectionism. Built on a simple melody and acoustic guitar, it grows step over step; guitars layer, drums pick up the pace, and when McRae growls “fuck those girls got everything” it’s a punch of both power and vulnerability, begging to be shouted in unison with the biggest possible crowd.
McRae ventured to North Carolina to record I Don’t Know How But They Found Me! with Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Suki Waterhouse, Bon Iver), also enlisting the help of Hippo Campus’s Nathan Stocker on guitar, Bon Iver’s Matthew McCaughan on drums, and her younger brother, Holden McRae, on keys. „It felt like summer camp. None of us wanted to leave,” – McRae said. „It was such a joyous ten days of pure creative expression.” In the process, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me! found its footing–a vibrating, urgent collection of songs moored by razor-sharp lyrical specificity and timeless pop melodies.
The unusual title of her second album? Taken from a line in McRae’s favorite film, Back to the Future. A key protagonist survives a hail of bullets, and the image resonated with McRae. “I really connected with the idea that I could’ve easily collapsed beneath the weight of what happened to me, but I didn’t. I didn’t even know it,” – McRae says, “but I was bulletproof the whole time.”
