Ahead of her performances in the UK later this year, Tenille Arts has released her new album ‘to be honest.’
Tenille Arts presents her fourth studio album, “To Be Honest,” as a pivotal milestone in her career trajectory. Her ascent over the past seven years since the release of her debut album, “Rebel Child,” has been marked by a steady accumulation of live performances and recorded output. With “To Be Honest,” Arts endeavors to broaden her audience reach, building upon the foundation laid by her previous album, “Girl To Girl.”
The album’s inaugural track immediately sets the tone for the record, showcasing Arts’ musical finesse while drawing inspiration from illustrious figures such as LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride, and Mindy McCready. Collaborations with notable artists like LeAnn Rimes on “Jealous of Myself” and Maddie & Tae on “Last Time Last” contribute to the album’s allure, raising the overall quality of the record, grounding it in the landscape of female country music.
Each track within “To Be Honest” stands as a testament to Arts’ artistry, seamlessly melding pop-country elements with poignant lyricism. Whether in the anthemic “Wonder Woman” or the introspective “How Do You Sleep,” Arts demonstrates vocal dexterity and emotional depth. The record is further underscored by tracks like “People Change” and “Want Her Back,” which evoke nostalgia for radio-country hits of the past.
While some tracks may be familiar due to prior single releases, their inclusion serves to enhance the album’s thematic coherence and impact. “To Be Honest” emerges as a testament to Arts’ musical prowess, leaving an indelible impression on listeners and solidifying her standing within the country music landscape. As the final strains of “Last Time Last” fade into silence, it becomes evident that Arts has not merely fulfilled expectations but has surpassed them, affirming her status as a prominent figure within contemporary country music. After years of honing her craft, Tenille Arts has fully arrived.
