One of Mae’s best-known collaborators on “My Love” is Tegan Quin, half of the indie pop duo Tegan and Sara and another outspoken LGBTQ rights advocate. The women team up on “Broken,” a mid-tempo ballad that’s easily one of the EP’s highlights.

Mae said collaborating in the studio with Quin was a dream come true, as she names Tegan and Sara among her biggest influences.

“For me, they’ve made being gay ― specifically, being a gay woman ― super cool, fashionable and awesome,” said Mae, who opened for Tegan and Sara on their 2017 tour through Europe. “I owe them a lot.”

Their song together “became darker and cooler” because of Quin’s presence on it, she said in a recent interview to huffingtonpost.ca.
