NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Award-winning singer/songwriter Tenille Townes is sharing one of her most personal releases to date with her new song, “Villain In Me.” Listen here and watch here“This song terrifies me, but I feel more hungry for honesty than I ever have in my life before and that hunger is carrying me to a much more personal anchor in my songwriting,” said Townes. “I’ve come to know the Villain in my head very well over this past year and a bit. The lonely time at home forced me to sit in the uncomfortable and vulnerable emotions and this song is a safe place for me to be open about it. It’s not something I like to talk about but writing and singing about it makes it easier.”Co-written with Alex Hope, who also produced the track, “Villain In Me” follows the ACM Award winner’s summer release “Girl Who Didn’t Care,” which was celebrated by Rolling StoneTennesseanAmerican SongwriterCowgirl MagazineMusicRowTaste of CountrySounds Like NashvilleCountry Now, and many more. The prolific songwriter is currently on the road with Brothers Osborne and recently announced her first ever headlining U.S. tour, the 11-city VILLAIN IN ME TOUR, kicking off Jan. 19 in Cambridge, MA. A new show in Los Angeles has since been added, with Townes taking the stage Feb. 9 at The Roxy Theatre. She will also open for superstars George Strait and Reba in early 2022.
