Tenille Arts – Jealous of Myself – Live from the Grand Ole Opry

p.s. it goes to country radio on MONDAY (1/9) and I’m so excitedPosted by Tenille Arts on Thursday, January 5, 2023
Arts, who had a platinum-selling, No. 1 hit in 2020 with “Somebody Like That,” is eager to kick off 2023 with “Jealous of Myself,” written by Emily Weisband, John Byron and Trevor Rosen.
“I really felt like it was a good time in my life to come out with it,” Arts tells Everything Nash. “I’ve always focused on my vocals, and I felt this song really showed them off. And [producer] Nathan Chapman and I worked on this in the studio to create that. But the song ‘Jealous of ‘Myself’ is different for me, ’cause I actually didn’t write it, which normally I pretty much write everything that I put out. Emily Weisband actually posted this song on TikTok and she was like, ‘I write music’ for other people. Does anybody wanna sing this song?’ And I fell in love with it.
“I heard the end of that chorus and I was like, ‘Dang, I wish I wrote that,'” she adds with a laugh. “So it’s a good one. And, thankfully, I got to sing it myself.”
Arts recently signed with Dreamcatcher Artists, the newly-launched record label, as part of Dreamcatcher Entertainment, which also includes Dreamcatcher Management.
“I am honored to be the first artist to sign with Dreamcatcher Artists, and to have the opportunity, for the first time, to participate in the ownership of my music,” Arts says. “I have been able to have a hand in helping build this incredible team of hard working people who never stop believing in me. I want to thank each and every one of you, you know who you are, for empowering me to continue to chase my wildest dreams. We have already been able to achieve so much together, and I cannot wait to share my new music with the world.”
