The Kids Are Coming by Tones and I
The Kids Are Coming is an EP by Tones and I, released in 2019. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Dance Monkey”, on 2 lists with a best position of #4.
The Kids Are Coming, the debut EP from Toni Watson, the Australian singer-songwriter who records as Tones and I, came out on 30 August 2019, after she announced it in July alongside the single "Never Seen the Rain". It runs just six songs, but one of them was "Dance Monkey", a bouncy, pleading earworm that went to number one in more than 30 countries and sat atop the Australian singles chart for 24 weeks, knocking Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" out of the record books.
The EP itself climbed to number three at home and into the top 10 in several other countries, and at the 2019 ARIA Music Awards it took Best Independent Release, part of a night that made her the most awarded artist there. All six tracks later resurfaced on the deluxe edition of her 2021 debut album, Welcome to the Madhouse.
