Tenille Arts may not be a name that is known outside of the country world currently, but the Canadian singer-songwriter has steadily been building her reputation on both the live circuit and the recording world over the seven years since her debut album, Rebel Child, dropped. With the release of her fourth studio album, To Be Honest, she aims to reach a global audience, departing from the direct country sound that has dominated her previous releases. Having really taken big steps towards global fame with her third studio album, Girl To Girl, can To Be Honest deliver her finally to this end point?

From start to finish, To Be Honest is a stunning record. It is clear that Tenille Arts takes inspiration from the likes of LeAnn Rimes, Martina McBride, Logan Brill, Danielle Bradberry, and even Mindy McCready as a bold balladeer who is not afraid to show her vulnerable side, but she is also an artist who can be a little bit playful at the same time. Despite her obvious influences, Tenille Arts is a true artist, recording and creating on her own terms, and her unique sound will leave a lasting impression.

After teasing the release with the criminally underappreciated LeAnn Rimes collaboration Jealous of Myself and the epic Next Best Thing, it was clear that this album would be her best yet.

However, the record's arrival surpasses all expectations. From the opening moments of the album’s title track to the close of Maddie & Tae's Last Time Last, Arts delivers a faultlessly beautiful, tenderly insightful album that will embellish itself at the core of your heart.

Jealous of Myself is a clear highlight, joined by the bold Call Me When You Get Home Friends, empassioned Mama’s Eyes, and truly gorgeous So how do I form the album’s standout moments? This is a record that has no skip-ahead moments. Tenille Arts more than delivers on her promise. Let’s just hope the commercial acclaim she deserves follows.
