Tenille Arts Releases 'to be honest' Album Ahead of World Tour

Multi-award-winning singer, songwriter, and entertainer Tenille Arts has released her long-awaited to be honest album, 14 cuts she calls the most important collection of songs in her musical journey thus far. The album is available now on Dreamcatcher Artists and distributed through STEM.

Tenille co-wrote 12 of the 14 songs on to be honest during a challenging period both personally and professionally. After celebrating the highest highs of her career, including making history with her #1 single “Somebody Like That,” she ended up in a difficult place in her life. 

“As always, I went to music to process what I was going through,” confessed Tenille. “These 14 songs share a truly honest take of where I’ve been in the past couple of years. I hope that when people listen they know that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes… and that there’s still so much happy and beautiful even in the hard times. I owe my fans something deeply real and I owe myself something deeply real. Thank you for taking the time to listen!"

Her current single, “So Do I,” was written by Demi Lovato, King Henry, Sasha Sloan, and Laura Veltz and produced by Henry. She premiered the song live on the Grand Ole Opry, and it was an immediate add on several Spotify editorial playlists. The Bobby Bones Show featured "So Do I" on the nationally-syndicated WOMEN of iHEARTCOUNTRY, and Garth Brooks’ new powerhouse channel The Big 615 added the single.

Earlier this week, Tenille announced her 27-city to be honest World Tour supporting the new album and “So Do I” single. After opening the Canadian dates of Luke Bryan’s Mind Of A Country Boy Tour in April, she revealed a plethora of headline and support dates criss-crossing the U.S., back into Canada and across the pond for five UK dates.
