Tones And I announces new album, Beautifully Ordinary
Tones And I has announced her forthcoming second studio album, Beautifully Ordinary, alongside the brand new single, “Dance With Me".
Tones And I elaborated on “Dance With Me” explaining that it "is a song about heartbreak and desperation. The chorus symbolises waiting in the past for someone that's moved on emotionally, the ‘dancing’ represents your happiest moment with someone and staying in the moment in a last desperate effort to reconnect with them. It's a lonely song but sounds happy.”
Earlier this year Tones And I made history as the Australian artist’s track “Dance Monkey” surpassed three Billion streams on Spotify. With that feat, Tones And I became the first and only female artist to achieve that streaming milestone, and one of only eight artists ever to cross three billion streams with a single song on Spotify.
“Beautifully Ordinary is my sophomore album. There was never a theme or tone I aspired to. Each song is a different story, meant for its own moment. Some songs have been inspired by the same life experience, but through a different perspective. Mostly the album presents itself as whatever the listener takes from it," she explains. "There's an undertone of loneliness, heartbreak, desperation, fear, vulnerability, and triumph (but not too much). The brightest songs have the saddest stories. Nostalgia seems to be a constant theme throughout the album, although it was never intentional. Subconsciously, I think the past is just something that really controls the person I am today - as I’m sure it does for a lot of us.”
Beautifully Ordinary follows Tones And I’s debut album, Welcome To The Madhouse, which was released in 2021.
