A diverse collection of new albums from Canadian artists arrived this week.

Fast-rising global pop star Tate McRae is proving unstoppable these days. On Nov. 8, she wrapped the Miss Possessive Tour in Los Angeles, and stats reported to Billboard Boxscore show that, since kicking off in March, the tour grossed $110.8 million and sold 1 million tickets over 77 shows. Capitalising on this momentum, McRae has just released a deluxe version of her breakthrough hit album, So Close To What now called So Close To What???. As reported here, this edition features four brand new cuts, “Trying on Shoes,” “Anything But Love,” “Nobody’s Girl” and “Horseshoe.”
