NCD is closing out the year with our “Play It Forward” segment, which beckons our featured artists to recommend a singer or song that mainstream country fans may not be familiar with.

Today’s recommendation comes from Ashley McBryde.

“When I found Tenille Arts, I was just like, ‘Wow!’” says Ashley. “Her song, ‘I Hate This,’ is a great song. Everyone needs to hear it.”

Listen to Tenille’s “I Hate This” below.
