A leaky blinder by Tate

STAR PUTS IN THE HOURS

- 

SHE'S the hardest grafter in pop but Tate McRae had to work triple time on her new album after leaks.

Demos for So Close To What found their way online months before its official release today.

"Devastated" Tate had to rethink her plans and came to the conclusion that she had to write a bunch more songs.

The Canadian explained: "Unfortunately, a lot of the album got leaked, which was a f**king bummer.

"Obviously that makes you look at the project differently. I was just so devastated because I'm like, 'There's nothing I can do about this. The whole project is online!
