On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, Katie Tupper released the stunning live video for Disappear, and announced her headline tour hitting stages across North America and Europe starting in March 2026 to bring Greyhound’s intimate, empathetic sound to life for fans everywhere.
Katie Tupper’s debut album Greyhound arrived on January 21, 2026, via Arts & Crafts, marking a significant milestone for the Saskatoon-born singer-songwriter. The release coincided with the launch of a captivating live video for the standout track “Disappear,” while announcements highlighted an upcoming headline tour across North America and Europe to bring the album’s intimate sound to live audiences.



Exploring the Themes of Greyhound
The album delves into the human instinct to pursue elusive desires, inevitable missteps, the comfort of home, and the many dimensions of love. It captures the paradox of knowing an outcome yet allowing events to play out. Drawing from her prairie roots in Saskatchewan, Tupper blends these origins with a broader, evolved perspective shaped by time spent in urban environments.
Her smoky alto weaves soul, indie, and alternative R&B elements, accented by subtle folk influences. Comparisons to artists like Olivia Dean and Charlotte Day Wilson highlight her style, which balances intensity with tenderness—fast and slow, hard and soft, deep and delicate. The record serves as a homecoming, merging endless skies and golden fields with city sidewalks and skylines.
The metaphor of a greyhound racing track—where dogs chase an unreachable decoy that always stays just ahead—inspired the project’s core. Tupper positions herself as both the pursuer and the elusive figure in relationships and life, embracing this duality throughout the songs.
Spotlight on “Disappear” Live Video
The album’s standout ballad “Disappear” received a striking live video treatment upon the album’s release. Featuring Tupper’s voice accompanied solely by piano, the performance showcases her elegant strength and emotional depth. The studio version includes guest vocals from Jordan Rakei and Rachel Bobbitt, contributing to its slow-burning, soft atmosphere.
The track reflects on a relationship that advanced too quickly, where self-advocacy was sidelined to avoid causing pain, leading to a gradual sense of diminishing oneself. Produced alongside frequent collaborators Justice Der and Felix Fox, the album’s sound emerged organically in early sessions, blending soulful R&B with heavy drum and bass, delicate guitars, and strings to push her sonic boundaries.
A Mature Lens on Life’s Challenges
Across Greyhound, the songwriting addresses difficult experiences through a mature, empathetic perspective. The goal is to offer listeners a sense of companionship in tough moments, a calm space to pause, and nuanced messages that encourage self-care and understanding toward others. It avoids polarized narratives, instead promoting compassion and the recognition that people embody both the chaser and the chased.
Prior to the debut, Tupper’s singles garnered over 4.5 million streams and 40 million social media views. She earned a JUNO Award nomination for Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year, along with features as Spotify’s RADAR Canada Artist of the Month and Apple Music’s UP NEXT Artist Canada.
