Welcome to the Madhouse, released on 16 July 2021, was the first full album from Toni Watson, the Australian singer, songwriter and producer who records as Tones and I, and it had a lot to live up to: her single "Dance Monkey" had topped the charts in more than 30 countries and spent 24 weeks at number one at home. The album went straight in at number one on the ARIA chart anyway.
It's a bright, busy pop record with a streak of theater, built around Watson's elastic, cartoonishly expressive voice. Lead single "Fly Away" went to number four in Australia and number 11 in the UK, and "Cloudy Day" also got airplay. The ARIA Awards nominated the album for Album of the Year and Watson for Best Artist, and the cover art by Giulia Giannini McGauran and Mitchell Eaton picked up a nomination of its own. The J Awards shortlisted it for Australian Album of the Year.
