Katie Tupper's name first came on my radar because of her brilliant work with Saskatoon-based collective vbnd.

The talented singer returns with "Comfort," a laid-back soul-meets-r&b gem about unrequited love. "I wrote Comfort as a way to work through some feelings I was having for someone really close to me. I knew that it wasn’t possible to have anything more than a friendship and even that felt so lucky to have.", shares Tupper.

Supported by industry legends like Zane Low and Ones to Watch, the 23-year-old neo-soul artist is on a beautiful path to showcasing how much the usually overlooked region in Canada has to offer musically.

I love the roughness in her voice, it sounds absolutely natural, playful, and alluring. Besides her vocal work, "Comfort" has a gorgeous underwater-like sounding instrumental to offer to anyone who enjoys live instrumentation. Mad props to all of the musicians involved in building a sound stage where Katie can truly shine.
