Friend Like You

Friend Like You

Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Katelyn Tarver fearlessly dives into life's complex questions through her music. Her songwriting offers a captivating and meditative account of navigating her early thirties, delving into the troubles that are often kept hidden: imposter syndrome, struggles with self-worth, fear of the unknown, and the anxiety of perfectionism. Through her collaboration with producer Chad Copelin (LANY, Sasha Sloan), Tarver brings greater candor to her unsparing introspection. With her crystalline voice and gorgeously airy indie-pop sound, Tarver's songs create a space for listeners to engage in profound self-reflection, potentially leading to a more open-hearted and free-spirited perspective on their own life journeys. Her most recent single “Friend Like You” is a simple, stripped back track that highlights Katelyn’s ability to tell personal stories in a very relatable way. Her bare harmonies shine over beautifully acoustic guitars. The production is intimate and draws you into what feels like a conversation between Katelyn and her best friend. It’s introspective and vulnerable, creating comparisons to contemporaries like Lizzy McAlpine and Gracie Abrams, yet the song is still distinctly Tarver’s voice and perspective.
