"Woman No" is the first single from Saskatoon-based neo-soul artist Katie 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," explains Tupper. "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."

The official video for “Woman No”, directed by Ryley Konechny, finds Tupper singing the sultry ballad in a Saskatoon roadhouse bar surrounded by unenthusiastic bikers. A diamond in the rough, Tupper’s shimmering, emotional performance in the middle of the room is largely ignored by the patrons even as the weight of the song brings her to tears.

“Woman No” can be heard in the latest episode of Netflix’s “Workin’ Moms” debuting today.

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

Today, Edwin Raphael’s new LP, Warm Terracotta, is available everywhere courtesy of Dine Alone Records. In celebration, the Dubai-born, Montreal-based songwriter is revealing the new 3D website, Warm Terracotta World. 

"Warm Terracotta World first came about when we were recording the album and it struck us that since the music is so closely interlaced with surrealism as one of its key pillars, we wanted an outlet to allow people to perceive as such,” says Raphael. “The album further represents a sacred space to find yourself over and over again, the 3D world would serve as an experiential space for listening, thoughts, discovery and potentially new connections."

MORE ABOUT WARM TERRACOTTA
How do you anchor yourself when occupying multiple geographic identities at once? For Edwin Raphael, it requires an intentional and intensive form of world-building. By developing an unmistakable style of folk that merges Eastern scales with the Western pop canon, Raphael reimagines his music as a exploratory tool that allows him to construct an interior and sacred home to retreat into. 

Where his past projects found inspiration in the metaphorical potential of water, his forthcoming album Warm Terracotta walks deeper into the island after standing on the shore. On Edwin Raphael’s most intimate and ambitious project to date, he grapples with the realization of being a foreigner everywhere; of longing to know your ancestral roots, while also honouring the home you’ve built for yourself. Both spacious and pulsating, the album is inspired by Indian classical music, experimental psychedelic folk, and spacey 80s pop; at times, conjuring the lower-jaw tingle of grass between your toes, or the sun-soaked splendour of late afternoon ragas. In Raphael’s own words, the album is an antidote: “one that swallows you into forgetting your present troubles, while also painting a world you can escape into — and keep coming back to.”

Raphael continues, “Warm Terracotta represents a sacred space to find yourselves over and over again. Fourteen songs that bring forward the duality and complexity of simply being. It trusts that when you do things from your soul, you feel a river move within you.

“It’s about balancing the good with the bad. It’s encountering a landscape that is completely surreal to you but also the closest thing to home. This project involves the arch of self-realization & leans on the generosity of the unexpected. It is a space for thoughts, discovery and new connections.”

MORE ABOUT EDWIN RAPHAEL
Growing up in Dubai, as the son of parents who immigrated from the city of Cochin in India’s coastal Kerala state, Raphael studied classical guitar before deciding on the keys. As he developed an affinity for John Mayer and Ben Howard, he felt at odds with Dubai’s distinct sense of “placelessness” — and the bewildering feeling of being immersed in a culture where everyone claimed an alternate homeland. It wasn’t until he moved to Montreal to pursue a business degree that he felt a sense of stability, and became deeply entangled with the city’s indie bedroom pop scene.

WATCH / SHARE “TRIPPING THROUGH MY BLOOD” HERE

His debut EP Ocean’s Walk (2015) paired stirring, melancholic instrumentals with a fierce self-reckoning. It would set the stage for a string of releases that would dive deeper into the psyche; like confronting the aftershocks following a significant heartbreak, or relearning your emotional baseline as you mature. Subsequent releases, Cold Nights (2017), his acclaimed debut Will You Think of Me Later? (2019), and its follow up Staring at Ceilings (2021), reveal an artist devoted to sharpening his ability to translate his experiences into ubiquitous statements, and saw him open for Hollow Coves, JP Saxe, Noah Kahan.

CASSIDY MANN UNVEILS NEW SINGLE, “EVERBLUE”

CASSIDY MANN SHARES “EVERBLUE” VIA END TIMES MUSIC

As a lyricist, singer-songwriter Cassidy Mann often reshapes a small moment into a powerful and poetic song that feels both personal and relatable. “My favourite thing is to write about all the tiny things that make the bigger picture more important,” she says. “It’s interesting to me how memories are interpretable.”

Mann’s first EP If It’s Not Forever served as a catalogue of how her early relationships ended and why. It was followed up in late 2022 by Along for the Ride – a song about losing your agency in a relationship. 

Today, she returns with “Everblue”, the new single about losing a friend and sitting in the aftermath. “When you lose a friend, you’re left with so many shared memories that no one else knows about,” says Mann. “You also have all these declarations you made to each other, about the future and your dreams and you lose a lot of that when you drift apart. This song is about how you make peace with the realization that both of your lives took different turns than you imagined.”

MORE ABOUT CASSIDY MANN
More than anything, Mann hopes that other people feel seen and comforted by her stories. With family hailing from the community of Sagkeeng First Nation, her Indigenous heritage continually influences her music. “Indigenous tradition is based around oral storytelling – songs and spoken stories,” Mann observes. “It ties into my songwriting because that’s how memories and experiences have been captured in my culture forever. Storytelling is something I feel compelled to do. I think it probably has a lot to do with the fact that that’s what my ancestors did.”
