T. Nile Releases Single “Sweet Talker” Ahead of Her NEW Album BEACHFIRES out April 19, 2019

“T.Nile has been turning some heads in this country and abroad with her brazen
blend of folk roots and pop and everything in between. Her music jumps out at you while you listen to it,
and in the most simple terms imaginable, it’s staggeringly good -Tom Power, CBC.

“Sweet Talker” reminds me of the best parts of early house, post punk, disco, if Haim had found a synth, or Beth Hart took upbeat pills, showing T. Nile’s limitless vision, with her glorious vocals, sweeping up all who are going to hear it from the studio floor. “Sweet Talker’s” trippy, echo-soaked ESG-style grooves act as both an aural history lesson while keeping an eye on where music is going. - Eric Alper

“Sweet Talker” is the debut single from T. Nile’s upcoming Beachfires release, out April 2019. Co written, co produced and performed by T. Nile and Sadowick, the single has a St. Vincent/Robyn vibe with a very T. Nile voice.

"Sweet Talker is about waking up from the story we are sold as young artists. Like in Hollywood, parts of the music industry 'sweet talk' and exploit young artists and I, like many others, experienced this when I was starting out. Eventually I became disillusioned and exhausted, so I stepped away to regroup. Now, with my new album "Beachfires", I'm coming back, with a new found confidence, knowing I'm walking away from that illusion and making my own path." - T. Nile

ABOUT T. NILE
T. Nile is an award-winning Canadian performing songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Blending gritty western guitars, soulful harmonies, bright banjo arpeggios, dark beats, and electro-pop accents, Nile creates a sound at the leading edge of the Electro-folk movement.

As producers and songwriters, T. Nile and Sadowick broke new sonic ground with their upcoming album “Beachfires”, out in April 2019, a collection of songs that represents a big step forward in T. Nile’s journey of blending of traditionally conflicting musical styles.

A native of BC’s Galiano Island, T. Nile spent a good part of her childhood and teens touring throughout North America and Australia with her father, a multi-instrumentalist sidewalk entertainer. The lifestyle took root and, since her first LP "At My Table", her musical offerings have captured the hearts of audiences across the globe.

Running on 2 LPs, 3 EPs, and a handful of single releases, Nile has won “Best New/Emerging Artist” at the Canadian Folk Music Awards and played major events like the Edmonton and Winnipeg Folk Festivals.

In April of 2019 T. Nile will release her fourth album “Beachfires” and spend much of the year touring in support of the record in Europe, and Canada. The first release "Note to Self" is streaming worldwide, “Sweet Talker” is the first single to radio.

lyrics

Sweet Talker
Words and melody: T. Nile
Music and production: Sadowick and T. Nile

At first I thought you were my man
I thought you were the one
(I thought you were the one)
At first I put you up on high
I was a flower in your sun
(I was a flower)

At first I looked into those eyes
Listening to your lines
(You had so many good lines)
But you broke your word
And after all I’ve heard
I’m asking why a thousand times

I hear you sweet talkin’
It don’t come out right
I hear you sweet talkin’
Won’t get me through the night
Sweet talking
It don’t mean a thing
Oh yeah you’re sweet talking
But I ain’t listening

Well how can a man say what you said
But not mean a single line
(How could you say that)
And how can a man give what you gave
Then take it back like it was never mine
(You took so much away)

But now I’m coming up in my own light
Smiling as I walk away
(Oooooooh I’m walking away)
Well too bad sweet talking lad
This is one honey that won’t be had

I hear you sweet talkin’
It don’t come out right
I hear you sweet talkin’
Won’t get me through the night
Sweet talking
It don’t mean a thing
Oh yeah you’re sweet talking
But I ain’t listening

Oooh Yeah
I hear you sweet talking
No it don’t come out right
Never got me through the night
Yeahhhhhh
Ooooohhohh

I hear you sweet talkin’
It don’t come out right
I hear you sweet talkin’
Won’t get me through the night
Sweet talkin’
It don’t mean a thing
Oh yeah you’re sweet talking
But I ain’t listenin
