Today on Too Opinionated we chat with singer/songwriter Catie Turner about her upcoming single Comedy & Tragedy: Act 1. The single drops on June 9th!

Comedy & Tragedy is a two-part collection of songs and visuals to be released throughout 2023. The project showcases Turner's gift for genuine, 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.

Act 1 includes the deeply introspective (but still upbeat) "Hyperfixations," which was featured in Rolling Stone's "Songs You Need To Know," and "Easy," which was released last week. The EP also features Catie's heart-wrenching breakthrough hit single, "God Must Hate Me," and edgier new tracks "Control" and "Hometown" alongside the intensely personal title track, "Comedy & Tragedy."

In addition to the new songs, she also made Comedy & Tragedy The Musical The Series with a bunch of her friends. In a way, it's Catie reclaiming the high school theater experience she wishes she had. She was too scared to ever really put herself out there—so she never did theater, because it required public speaking and being vulnerable in front of people. This is her way of doing it (just a couple years later!).

Catie kicked off a US headline tour on June 3.
