Cara Bateman

Anyone can hear what makes Cara Bateman’s voice special the moment she starts to sing. A true vocalist’s vocalist, she floats effortlessly between dreamy, sultry, and powerful, writing singable but complex songs that showcase the full breadth of her ability. Her admirers include internationally renowned producers, artists, and bands like Dashboard Confessional, The Elwins, and JUNO Award-winning rockers Dizzy, all of whom have asked Bateman to open for them. In 2019, Cara was also handpicked to play as a featured artist for the Canadian Music Week in Toronto, ON, where she received rave reviews of her performance.

“Some Thoughts I've Had,” Cara’s newest EP, contains four beautifully sparse pop songs with gorgeous R&B/soul instrumentation (recorded live off the floor) that perfectly feature her stunning, raspy voice and elevate her captivating songwriting. The resulting sense of rawness, love, and longing resonate in every note of the EP — these thoughts, like lavender lemonade on a sunny spring day, are sweet, sumptuous, and perfectly addictive.
