Chart Success: "Cold
Feet" has made it to #9 on Canada Country iTunes Singles Chart and
in the top 100 (#99) all genres
A story song about choosing
between your head and your heart. What would you do?
A gentle light acoustic, delicate
piano and soft percussion underscores this deliciously dreamy number from the get-go.
Tenille compares her new single Cold
Feet as “like a Nicholas Sparks
book in a song”. Several of his romantic novels (Amazon)
have become number one New York Times bestsellers. If there was any justice
then the CANCON songstress’ new single should also become a hit!
This beautiful, graceful, and
stylish ballad gentle stirs the emotional pot on this cinematic track where a church
wedding day dawns. Bridesmaid dresses are hanging, flowers have been ordered and
a starry-eyed honeymoon awaits with Mister Perfect, or does it?
Out of a blue the bride to be
receives a letter from a former love-torn lover persuading her to meet at a
favourite beauty spot.
But you should be happily wrapped up with me
It's took me to write down what I finally see
So why don't you meet me one night
In our old spot down by the creek
If you've got cold.. feet
The music, interspersed with
laced faint steel, creates a slow motion of pure dreamy smoothness perfectly
complimenting Tenille's gorgeous spell-weaving vocal tone. The song leaves the
necessary pauses and wide-open spaces between both the notes and the words as
the bride to be ponders what direction is best to take.
Instead of being swathed in the
comfort of her home dreaming of her special day it finds her out on a rainy late-night
sidewalk with doubt cast in a troubled mind.
Here she is walking back home after midnight
Trying to breath
With cold..feet
What should she do? We think she should go with what her heart is saying
rather than her mind when that hard-to-pin-down life decision is involved. Let
Tennille know on her Facebook video what you think.
Whatever the outcome we love the
beautiful texture of this track. Pure Bliss!

Biography
Tenille Arts is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter from Weyburn, Saskatchewan.
At the age of 8, a neighbour
overheard her singing in the backyard and encouraged her to pursue music. This
encounter helped lead Tenille to vocal lessons, piano lessons, and dance
training. She wrote her first song at 13, and has performed shows all over
Canada since then.
Tenille made her first trip to Nashville when she was 15 to pursue a
music opportunity she had been offered. While gaining some valuable experience she
returned to Canada to continue writing, performing, and finish high school.
On one of her return trips to
Nashville in 2014, she was introduced to industry veterans Adam Wheeler and Matt Rovey
Wheeler's publisher, Hal Oven,
was also very impressed with Tenille. In 2015, he signed her to a publishing
deal at Noble Vision Music Group,
allowing her to make the move to Nashville and pursue her career full time.

In 2015, Tenille supported one of her favourite causes with a benefit single. It was a special song because it was written by Matt Scales, a victim of Cystic Fibrosis. Tenille became interested in being an ambassador for CF when she was a dance teacher and one of her 6-year old students had the disease. Tenille recorded the song "Breathe" (UK iTunes) as a fundraiser for CF Canada, who received 100% of the proceeds. The song released April 14, 2015 peaked at #6 on the iTunes Canada Country chart.

developed to educate and support artists in their pursuit of a career in the

In Jan 2017 single What
He’s Into (Amazon

Streaming giant Pandora lists her as one of their "2017 Country Artists to Watch," and popular country website whiskeyriff.com labelled Tenille a "new country artist name you need to know immediately."
