Acclaimed singer-songwriter, Catie Turner has released her new single, “Easy” today. Following “Hyperfixations” in March, the new track marks the latest chapter of Catie’s ambitious new project, Comedy & Tragedy, a two-part collection of songs and visuals to be released throughout 2023, with Act 1 due out in late spring. Listen to the song now below.
Speaking about “Easy”, Catie said, “To be quite frank, this song came from me being depressed and oh-so-high (if there are children reading this, I was high on life and introspection). I often times feel too much, and even more so I fear being ‘too much’; I want to be easy. The one who only elicits pleasant feelings. Unfortunately, there is no rule book that can teach you how to be easy 100% of the time: it doesn’t exist. I hope you like it, and cue the laugh track, find it EASY to listen to.”
Comedy & Tragedy: Act 1 and Comedy & Tragedy: Act 2 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. Turner takes the theatrically inspired undertaking even further with Comedy & Tragedy: The Musical: The Series, now underway.
Turner will also celebrate Comedy & Tragedy with her biggest US live run thus far. Comedy & Tragedy: The Headline Tour gets underway June 3rd with all tour dates below.
