.tonesandimusic is feeling herself more than ever with her honest new music. We talked working on her debut album, runaway hit “Dance Monkey,” collabs with Macklemore, and more

Before Tones And I released the single"Bad Child" in March, she made a decision: She was going to tell everyone that it wasn't about her."I've always wanted to write a song in someone else's shoes, writing from their perspective. It's seeing life growing up through someone else's eyes," she said in a press release the day the song hit streaming services. The problem? That wasn't the truth.

"I didn't want people looking and asking questions about my past. I gave the people what I thought was necessary to give, to get that off my chest," she explained."I don't want to do, like, a one-hour episode of my upbringing, and that's what I was scared of and why I pulled back from it. Even when I first started music, before any of this, I was very hesitant. I didn't want to get too big. I didn't want to talk about my family or my life.

"In Australia, it's all love," she told MTV News."Australians are like, 'You've got this. It's my turn this week, it's your turn next week.' I just wasn't prepared for the rest of the world, I reckon, where people bring each other down. 'Oh, you're succeeding? I'm going to bring you down.'" , named after an unreleased track she's been playing live for many months, and which was inspired by a fancy L.A. that she ditched after realizing it wasn't her scene. Tones says the album is slated for release in August, but it's still evolving by the day. She's been tacking on more songs to the tracklist, so it'll be longer than she originally anticipated.
