Catie Turner - Comedy & Tragedy: Act 1 (2023) Hi Res

Comedy & Tragedy is a two-part collection of songs and visuals to be released throughout 2023. The project was first heralded by the deeply introspective (but still upbeat) “Hyperfixations,” featured in both Rolling Stone’s “Songs You Need To Know” and Ones To Watch’s “Now Watching.”

Comedy & Tragedy: Act 1 also includes Turner’s heart-wrenching breakthrough hit single, “God Must Hate Me,” which proved a worldwide viral phenomenon upon its original November 2021 release. Applauded by American Songwriter as “a platform for all sorts of reflections and interpretations…one of (Turner’s) most successful songs to date,” the track earned more than 1.2M streams in its first week, landing Catie on the cover Spotify’s influential “Next Gen Singer Songwriters” playlist.

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.
