TONES AND I REVEALS NEW ALBUM ‘BEAUTIFULLY ORDINARY’

Global sensation and multi-platinum award-winning songwriter Tones And I has revealed her eagerly awaited new album, Beautifully Ordinary, set for worldwide release on August 2nd. Alongside this announcement, Tones And I has also released “Dance With Me”, a melodious new pop track from the upcoming album, now available on all streaming platforms. Beautifully Ordinary is the follow-up to Tones And I’s highly praised debut LP, Welcome To The Madhouse, which topped the Australian Albums Chart in 2021.

Speaking about Beautifully Ordinary, Tones And I said, “Beautifully Ordinary is my second album. I never aimed for a specific theme or tone. Each song tells a different story, each meant for its own moment. Some songs draw inspiration from the same life experience, but offer a different perspective. Mostly, the album presents itself as whatever the listener interprets from it. It carries an undertone of loneliness, heartbreak, desperation, fear, vulnerability, and triumph (but not too much). The most upbeat songs tell the saddest stories. Nostalgia seems to be a recurring theme throughout the album, although it was never intentional. Subconsciously, I think the past significantly influences who I am today – as I’m sure it does for many of us.”

Tones And I further explained “Dance With Me,” stating, “‘Dance With Me’ is a song about heartbreak and desperation. The chorus symbolizes waiting in the past for someone who’s emotionally moved on, the ‘dancing’ represents your happiest moment with someone and staying in that moment in a last desperate attempt to reconnect with them. It’s a lonely song but sounds happy.”

Co-produced by Tones And I, Beautifully Ordinary sees the Australian artist embracing personal growth and finding peace as she encourages listeners to do the same. The ambitious and adventurous collection is available for pre-order today and is highlighted by the previously released singles “Wonderful”, “I Get High” and “Dreaming”.

Next, Tones And I will tour Europe in July for a series of summer festivals and a headline show in London, before returning home for a sold-out headline tour through Australia and New Zealand. She’ll end the year with two massive Australian headline shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (11/9) and the iconic Sydney Opera House (11/30). This past spring, Tones And I joined P!NK on her stadium tour in Australia, opening each of the twenty shows and performing to nearly one million people across the entire run.

Earlier this year, Tones And I made history when her hit “Dance Monkey” surpassed three billion streams on Spotify. With this achievement, Tones And I became the first and only female artist to reach this streaming milestone, and one of only eight artists ever to cross three billion streams with a single song on Spotify.

Tones And I notably ended 2023 with the powerful anthem “The Greatest”, which was released in support of the Australia Women’s Football team, The Matildas, at the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Tones And I was also featured on the track “BRING IT ON [Official FIFA Walkout Anthem]”, alongside Bia and Diarra Sylla, and produced by RedOne (Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber) which served as the official walk-out song for the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia, and will continue as the official walk-out music for every FIFA match until 2030. Furthermore, Tones And I performed a captivating set ahead of the FIFA Women’s World Cup final in front of a full house of more than 75,000 spectators at Sydney’s Stadium Australia, and broadcasting out to billions of people worldwide.

Those two tracks followed Tones And I’s other 2023 single “I Am Free,” which has gathered millions of streams on DSPs alongside a special ‘Piano Version.’ “I Am Free” followed Tones And I’s single “I Made It” – composed for the Netflix original film True Spirit – her 2022 single “Charlie” and her feature on Macklemore’s “Chant.” The pair debuted the collaboration on Good Morning America with an electrifying performance in New York City’s Central Park. Furthermore, Tones And I also recently wrapped up a run of dates supporting Macklemore on his UK and Europe spring headline tour.

As a unique vocalist, smart lyricist, skilled producer, and creative innovator, Tones And I expands the boundaries of pop music with unpredictable and undeniable anthems of her own creation. Since bursting onto the global scene in 2019 as a busker from the Mornington Peninsula, Australia, she has broken records, won multiple awards, sold out tours, surpassed 10 billion streams and achieved multi-platinum status around the world. Her breakout “Dance Monkey” went 6x platinum in the United States, became the most Shazamed song ever, and established her as “the first female artist to reach 2 billion streams on Spotify with one song,” all while consistently holding a spot in the “Top 10 Most-Streamed Songs of All-Time on Spotify.” Her 2019 EP, The Kids Are Coming, made the Top 30 of the Billboard 200 and is certified Gold. Meanwhile, Tones And I’s full-length debut, Welcome To The Madhouse, topped the Australian Albums Chart at #1 in 2021. Among five career ARIA Awards, “Cloudy Day” closed out 2022 as ARIA’s “Song of the Year.” Beyond selling out shows on multiple continents, she has delivered stunning performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, TODAY, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and many more. Along the way, she has also collaborated with Macklemore, blackbear, Jonas Blue, Sam Feldt and BIA, in addition to contributing music to NETFLIX’s True Spirit and the blockbuster sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Taking the helm, she personally shapes her vision by not only writing and performing, but also producing and directing visuals. Tones And I is a creative force and never stops pushing forward.
