Today, Katie Tupper, the rising Canadian indie-soul and R&B singer who was selected as one of three participants in the highly coveted JUNO Master Class, follows her recent single, “Woman No”, with "Comfort", a sexy mid-tempo ballad about unrequited love. “I wrote ‘Comfort' as a way to work through some feelings I was having for someone really close to me," explains Tupper. "I knew that it wasn’t possible to have anything more than a friendship and even that felt so lucky to have."

A former member of Saskatoon collective vbnd, her previous single, "Woman No" was the first new music from Tupper's sophomore EP, Where To Find Me. Produced by Connor Seidel, the track is a timeless soul ballad driven by Tupper's smokey vocals which soar over delicate finger-picked guitar and dreamy piano. "I wrote this song to my younger self," she explains. "I’m hoping it will defy time and space and tap into the brain of my teenage self. I want to give her advice to act on everything I was feeling rather than doing what looked right or seemed to be the correct choices."

Beneath the painted hues and infinite prairie skies of Saskatoon – a city in the heart of Canada – lies a soulful, creative spirit that proves there’s much more to the so-called ‘fly-over states’ than grassland and grain silos. Katie Tupper embodies that spirit and is determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing, genre-defying artists at work within the often overlooked region. Tupper's 2022 debut EP, Towards The End, received glowing acclaim from tastemakers like Zane Lowe and indie music press like Ones To Watch, Exclaim, Under The Radar, and FLOOD Magazine. She appeared on eTalk and recorded a filmed television performance for CBC. Tupper is one of four participants selected to be part of the 2023 Allan Slaight JUNO Master Class.

PRAISE FOR KATIE TUPPER
“Saskatchewan's Katie Tupper makes the kind of soul-stained folk that feels instantly familiar, but it's her complex writing — vividly capturing the sights and smells of her home province, like the "fields of butter" on "How Can I Get Your Love?" — that makes her debut EP so anticipated, further calcifying the singer/songwriter's distinct and subtle touch.“ Exclaim!
“Tupper's smooth, neo-soul delivery is paired with a minimalist sound, often letting her honest songwriting shine in the forefront; definitely recommended for fans of Charlotte Day Wilson or Loony. .Her music helps us challenge the way we look back at events or people in our lives, always in search of ways to move forward with a set path and a clearer mind.” CBC Music
"[Katie Tupper] strikes a narrow balance between the vivid romanticism of soul and the hushed confessions of a folk singer/songwriter." - Under The Radar Magazine
"Katie Tupper pairs hard truths with soft sounds." - FLOOD Magazine
