KATIE TUPPER FOLLOWS UP JUNO AWARD-NOMINATED EP WITH NEW SINGLE, “NEED NOTHING”
Katie Tupper, the rising soul singer and former member of Saskatoon collective vbnd, follows her JUNO Award-nominated sophomore EP Where To Find Me, with the new track “Need Nothing”, a groovy, toe-tapping alternative R&B song about unconditional love.
“We wrote this song as a feel-good confession of an endless stream of adoration,” reflects Katie. “If nothing is given in return this feeling of love and willingness to express it will always be there.”
“I feel so lucky and excited to be sharing this collection of songs,” says Tupper. “Each song I write and work on brings me one step closer to what I want my music to sound like. This EP is the closest I’ve felt yet. I really feel like my influences shine through in these songs and they feel really personal. I use music to try to figure myself out and to think about my identity.
Just before writing these songs, I was bouncing around a couple of new cities, meeting a lot of new people, and introducing myself to a lot of them. I experienced a lot of changes during those introductions. Some of those feelings and experiences are captured here.”
Three of the songs on the project were written alongside my good friend Connor Seidel who is one of my favourite producers and musicians of all time. I love the worlds he builds with his production. I’m so excited for people to listen and to hear a few of the things I was feeling when I wrote this collection of songs.”
A former member of Saskatoon collective vbnd, her previous single, “Woman No” was the first single Where To Find Me. 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.”
