“Katie Tupper's voice always greets listeners like the most tender dream, one you want to stay in forever. The dulcet tones of "Need Nothing" are a balm and Tupper is at her best when she's leaning into sweetness. "I'll be here for what it's worth," she states, affirming her love.” - CBC Music

“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!

"[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

Earlier this year, Katie Tupper’s previous single “Need Nothing”, found on the JUNO Award nominated EP Where To Find Me, was voted one of CBC Music’s Top 20 Fan Favourites for 2024. Today, the rising soul singer is sharing the new single “JEANS (fall on my knees)”, a song Tupper wrote about “getting to the crux of a relationship with someone and needing to decide what was the best route forward. I think recognizing that even the best relationships whether they’re friendships or romantic can sometimes cause a lot of harm while feeling really good. I realized that caring for myself and my happiness was more important than whatever I was convincing myself was good about this situation and this person. You can only tell yourself that everything is fine and that you're happy for so long until you look around and you realize you’ve let yourself and everything around you fall apart.”

NIA NADURATA SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR “PRACTICE”

**DEBUT EP STILL LIVING WITH MY PARENTS OUT NOW VIA ARTS & CRAFTS**

On her debut EP, Still Living With My Parents, Nia Nadurata captures the coming-of-age whirlwind with humour and candidness. Opening with "Practice," the anthemic pop kiss-off to an ex, Nadurata breezes through heartache: "Steal my taste, take my style and my mom's leather jacket," she sings, letting him know he won't do better in a new relationship. It's an infectious opener that colourfully plays with many of the EP's themes of love and identity, with each subsequent track slotting perfectly into place, like a puzzle. CBC Music

“Practice” Video Still

Step into the world of rising indie pop vocalist NIA NADURATA with her debut EP Still Living With My Parents - a musical journey through the highs and lows of emerging adulthood. The EP celebrates the chaos of youth, while tenderly acknowledging the profound challenges of finding your place in a world that seems to be moving forward without you.

Today NADURATA shares the music video for single “Practice”. Currently the #1 song on CBC Music, the witty but heartfelt pop tune explores the painful realization that the person you nurtured and shaped has taken your best parts and moved on to someone new.

"Being so involved in the visual process allows me to properly show where my heart was at when creating the music,” says the songwriter about the music video. “To me, the beauty of being an artist is that the creation of an idea doesn’t have to be limited to just writing the song.

When writing the music I want the lyrics to be open to interpretation and for everyone to feel differently based on their own experiences. But with the music video I’m able to showcase exactly how I was feeling and show where my heart was at when making the song.

After a prolific 2024 with widely-praised releases “I Lied”, “Wasn’t You”, “Life of the Party” and “Divorce”, Housewife (Brighid Fry) is kicking off the New Year with the announcement of eagerly-awaited new EP Girl Of The Hour accompanied by the release of new single “Work Song”.

Due for release on March 7, Girl Of The Hour follows 2022’s EP You’ll Be Forgiven continuing the sprawling indie-pop energy Housewife has become known for. New single “Work Song” shines as one of the more anthemic moments on the new collection, broadening her inventive progression once again.

Speaking about the new release, she said, “‘Work Song’ is about feeling unsatisfied with yourself and where you’re going. I have really high expectations of myself but also have really unhealthy habits and so oscillate between being a workaholic and being burnt out. I wanted to poke fun at myself, while still processing it as a valid issue in my life. This song is for anyone else out there with executive functioning issues who sometimes feel like a hot mess.”

MORE ABOUT HOUSEWIFE
Filled with curiosity and questions of identity, Toronto’s Brighid Fry (she/ they) makes the sort of indie-leaning, exploratory music that it’s taken several years of early success and subsequent growth to reach. First breaking through in her teens as one half of Moscow Apartment, the duo swiftly won a Canadian Folk Music award for their self-titled debut EP before changing their name and then becoming a solo project in 2022. As Brighid hit her twenties and stepped front and centre, the material that she was writing became increasingly more self-aware and personal, too.

Still only 21, Brighid credits her liberal upbringing as helping to make this process of both artistic and self-discovery as seamless as possible. Having recently been diagnosed as autistic, she jokes that her neurodivergence was on display and understood from the first moments music entered her life as a child when, unlike most three-year-olds, she became obsessed with classical composers and begged her parents not just for a kid’s violin, but also a collection of busts of Bach, Beethoven and co. When the classical music fixation gave way to more contemporary tastes, she would join her family at the folk festivals they regularly attended, playing her first non-classical performance at a Greenpeace fundraiser.

As well as offering Brighid an early introduction to the community that music can provide and the climate activism that would go on to become a big part of her life (in 2021, she helped to set up the Canadian branch of Music Declares Emergency), her family also provided a completely accepting place to explore her wider identity. As a “third generation queer”, she’s felt confident and comfortable with her own bisexuality since the age of 12. “My parents are bisexual; my grandma’s a lesbian; I grew up going to Pride so I never had a teary coming out,” she notes. In the two years since Housewife’s previous EP You’ll Be Forgiven, meanwhile, Brighid has spent time understanding that she is non-binary. “It took longer to figure that bit out, but I’ve never struggled with my identity,” she says.

On new EP Girl Of The Hour, then, Housewife is addressing these facets more than ever - be that on the friend crush dilemma of first single “I Lied” or the musings on social perceptions that run through “Life of the Party”. But although these six tracks of earworm grunge-pop are a real time document of an artist growing and changing - figuring out some vital parts of themself along the way - the predominant vibe is one that’s playful and inquisitive. “Sometimes your friends are hot and that can get more complicated when there are no hard lines on what you are,” Brighid suggests. “That’s how my queerness ends up coming out in my music.”

“Wasn’t You” laces fuzzy guitars with a relatable tale about fancying someone you wish you didn’t. “My problem with being bisexual isn’t about being attracted to women, it’s being attracted to men,” Brighid laughs - an idea intertwined with an acute awareness of the gender imbalance of prospective partners who “have been raised and socialised in a completely different way than me, and don’t have to deal with sexism and misogyny in the same way I do.”

On the aforementioned “I Lied”, she addresses another hurdle of being bisexual over the sort of buoyant indie-pop that nods to fellow queer heroes MUNA. “I’m always interested in this idea that straight men and women can’t be friends, or that you can’t be friends with someone you could be attracted to,” Brighid notes, “because if you’re bi then well, shit! Can’t I have any friends?!” Meanwhile, for the melancholy heartbreak of “Divorce”, Brighid sought out fellow songwriter Hank Compton during a writing session in order to make “the most devastating shit” they could.

Largely moving away from the lighter folk of her early output and leaning into the more alternative influences that have been part of her life since attending a formative Girls Rock camp aged eight, “Life of the Party” fuses pop hooks with a grungey, cathartic musicality; a duality that fits the song perfectly. “People don’t pick up on the fact that I’m autistic automatically so they’ll think I’m this aloof, weird bitch,” Brighid says. “But then people also assume I’m this confident person who knows what they’re doing [because of my career]. I wanted to write a song about all these misconceptions about me and how hard it is to set people straight. People see me on stage and think that’s me, but it just never has been.”

“Matilda” is a song about losing her bike that’s also, of course, not just about losing her bike. “It’s about the aspect of needing to move on and dealing with loss that was informed by this other big loss in my life. But,” she notes, “I genuinely cried when I lost that bike.”

On Girl Of The Hour, Brighid is fully leaning into the fresh territory she’s opened up as Housewife - from the newly limitless genre scope she’s allowing herself to explore to the increasingly personal, nuanced and curious topics that permeate the lyrics within them. More than ever, Brighid Fry knows herself and the result is a project that’s getting more confident in the idiosyncrasies of its own skin by the day. “Some people say that this music is political or it has very strong messaging and I think that’s great,” she says, “but really for me, it’s just a way to process life.”
