New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Global superstar and multi-platinum award-winning songwriter
Tones And I has unveiled her highly anticipated sophomore album, Beautifully Ordinary. Co-produced by
Tones And I and featuring her as the sole writer on nearly every song, this album captures her artistic evolution and personal growth, blending her distinctive vocal style with vulnerable storytelling. Available on all streaming platforms now.
Commenting on Beautifully Ordinary,
Tones And I shared, "This is my sophomore album. Each song tells a different story, meant for its own moment. Some tracks are inspired by the same life experience, but from different perspectives. The album presents itself as whatever the listener takes from it, with undertones of loneliness, heartbreak, desperation, fear, vulnerability, and triumph. The brightest songs often have the saddest stories. Nostalgia is a recurring theme, perhaps subconsciously reflecting how the past shapes who I am today."
The album opens with "To Be Loved," a raw and heartfelt exploration of Tones And I's past experiences. This track showcases her vulnerability and depth, revealing her struggles in an intimate way, with recurring themes highlighting a deep longing for acceptance. The album's narrative was introduced earlier this year with the release of singles "Dance With Me," "Wonderful," "I Get High," and "Dreaming."
This month,
Tones And I will kick off her sold-out tour through Australia and New Zealand followed by headline shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver
