Tones And I is back with new single ‘Bad Child’. A release which has taken on a new direction from her previous hit ‘Dance Monkey’.
It begins with a Tones And I isolated vocal before we hear a sharp, hard-hitting piano lead which pulls us in. Lyrically, Toni (Tones And I) speaks of her youth and how she has always been a ‘bad child’. She also states that people have forever doubted her and thrown her into a ‘bad pile’. Well, one group of people who are not throwing her away is her fans. As a result, she cannot do anything wrong in their eyes. But, it is not difficult to see why she is such a favourite, especially with her unique voice and memorable melodies.
The chorus for me is the selling point with its infectious resonance. Tones And I has a reputation of delivering a famous chorus, and this track is no exception. As a result, I am immensely looking forward to seeing what else the Australian has up her sleeve in 2020.
Catchy
Overall, I think it is a well-built release. It is catchy and tells us a meaningful story of the singers past. However, I do not believe it is on the same level of quality as ‘Dance Monkey’. It does not have the same attraction heard on that one, in my opinion. But, it is a good listen, and I would not turn it off if my shuffle playlist put it on.
