KATIE TUPPER SHARES HAZY NEW SINGLE “TENNESSEE HEAT”
ARTS & CRAFTS
Katie Tupper is back with another single off her debut album after a meteoric rise on social media. With multiple viral videos on both Reels and TikTok, Tupper now has a captive audience in love with her voice. “Tennessee Heat” meets this audience; it’s a hazy and sexy representation of summer connection. Says Katie, “This captures what coming of age and falling in love in Saskatchewan felt like for me.” Vivid and all-encompassing, “Tennessee Heat” is a final ode to the dog days of summer.
Katie Tupper’s year is off to a good start. The JUNO Award nominee found her previous single “Jeans (fall on my knees)” landing Top 5 on CBC Music’s Top 20 and recently she’s been selected for Apple Music Canada’s ‘Up Next Artist’ and Spotify Canada’s RADAR Artist of the Month. Since early last year, Tupper has been enchanting audiences on TikTok and Instagram with covers of her favourite songs accompanied only by her bandmate and collaborator Benjamin Millman on keys. These covers ranging from Hall & Oates to Jazmine Sullivan have amassed over 35 million views and earned nods from superstars like SZA and Joe Jonas.
MORE ABOUT KATIE TUPPER
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, an indie R&B musician, embodies that spirit and is determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing music at work within the often overlooked region. Tupper’s two EPs of heartland soul – 2022’s Towards The End, and 2023’s Where To Find Me – have amassed 22 million streams world wide, a JUNO Award nomination (2024 Traditional R&B-Soul Recording of the Year), the praise of tastemakers like Zane Lowe, a CBC Q interview with Tom Power, and international radio spins from BBC 6Music (UK), FIP (France), and CBC (Canada). In 2025, she’s been selected as Apple Canada’s “Up Next Artist” and Spotify Canada’s RADAR Artist of the Month and she’s even had Elton John spin her songs on his Apple Music Radio Show, Rocket Man. She’s now heading into the release of her debut full-length album, out in 2026 via Arts & Crafts.
