Steven Taetz -- Fruit
Canadian singer Steven Taetz's gem of an EP, Fruit, invites us to savor both the sourness and sweetness of life.
On his latest EP Fruit, Canadian singer Steven Taetz reclaims the words that drive us to shame. Taetz has an angelic voice that has found him collaborating with the likes of Jill Barber, Jenn Grant, Peter Katz, Caroline Brooks of Good Lovelies, and many others. Whether Taetz is singing jazz, folk, blues, or pop, he brings a sincerity to all of it.
Fruit is a testament to that: the music sits comfortably somewhere between pop and twang. While the title track is fun and flirty, Taetz quickly dives under the surface with ballads dedicated to those who swam against the current, even if they didn't always make it: role models, lovers, friends, relatives – all people to admire in their own ways. The EP culminates with "The Party," a sweetly defiant song that plays with all the norms imposed on us all. Short and sweet, Fruit invites us to savor both the sourness and sweetness of life.
