The first half of the year has been pretty huge for Byron Bay musician Tones and I. The one-time busker drew wide attention with first two singles ‘Johnny Run Away’ and ‘Dance Monkey’, demonstrating a keen ear for pop melodies and affecting choruses. She’s been something of a triple j success story, racking up millions of streams with those two songs alone.
Now, the indie-pop singer has revealed ‘Never Seen the Rain’, the third single to be shared from her upcoming debut EP, The Kids Are Coming, which she’ll release in August ahead of a sold-out national tour.
“[It’s] about people who live the same repetitive life in fear of failure,” the artist told Triple J. “So, they never try,”
Tones and I will kick off Splendour in the Grass this weekend as one of the Unearthed winners, and will also be appearing in Brisbane as part of BIGSOUND later this year.
Listen to ‘Never Seen the Rain’ below.
