Acclaimed singer-songwriter, Catie Turner is back with “Hyperfixations“, her first new single of 2023 following last year’s “Step Mom”. The new track marks the first chapter of Catie’s ambitious new project, Comedy & Tragedy, a two-part collection of songs and visuals to be released throughout 2023. Comedy & Tragedy: Act 1 and Comedy & Tragedy: Act 2 will showcase Turner’s gift for intensely personal songcraft while simultaneously flexing her sonic versatility with a newfound creative edge. At the heart of the project is Catie’s belief in the dichotomy of drama – that truth cannot exist without both comedy and tragedy.
“‘Hyperfixations,’ for me, is a normal therapy session,” explains Catie. “Semi-concerning lyrics, but with a beat that says, ‘Hey, she’s kind of doing something!’ It’s about living inside my head to the point it affects my ability to love and to perceive love; it affects my ability to perceive life. I really hope you enjoy it, whether as a down-to-enjoy-some-chaos type of person or a fellow neurodivergent over-thinker.”
Catie will celebrate her new music and more with her biggest US live run thus far. Comedy & Tragedy: The Headline Tour kicks off on June 3rd at Dallas, TX’s Deep Ellum Art Company with stops at New York’s Mercury Lounge and Los Angeles’ Troubadour.
