Fly Away - Tones and I - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Australian singer and songwriter Tones and I, whose single "Dance Monkey" became a virtually inescapable international mega-hit all over the world, is not one to repeat herself. Her 2020 single "Fly Away" seems a world removed from the manic energy of "Dance Monkey", featuring a more grounded sound and subject matter. Built on a palm-muted acoustic guitar riff that gradually builds to a catchy synth hook under layers and layers of gospel-influenced backing vocals and handclaps, the song takes the listener on a sonic and emotional journey. Written in isolation at her home in Melbourne while quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic, the song expresses themes of longing for escape, of chasing dreams regardless of the circumstances one finds oneself in. "Fly Away" was certified platinum in Australia, reaching Number 4 on the ARIA charts and Number 14 on the US Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart.
