25,5 miliona mau manaʻo wikiō ma YouTube, ma luna o 7 pule ma ka piko o ka Australian ARIA Charts. ʻO kēia mau mea a pau i loko o ʻeono mahina mai ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ka hula Monkey. He aha kēia inā ʻaʻole ia he kālena mālamalama a me ka ʻike honua?
Ma hope o ka inoa o ka papahana ʻo Tones and I, ʻo ia ka hōkū e piʻi aʻe ana o ke kahua pop Australian ʻo Toni Watson.
ʻO Tony Watson kamaliʻi
Ua hānau ʻia ka hōkū e hiki mai ana ma ʻAukake 15, 2000 ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Victoria, aia ma ka moku ʻo Mornington. ʻO kāna hoʻomanaʻo mua loa e pili ana i ke mele, pili ke kaikamahine i ka makahiki 7.
A laila hele ʻo ia me kona ʻohana ma Frankstone Park, hīmeni pū, a ʻike ka ʻanakē i nā hana a Tony, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻo ia ka mea maikaʻi loa i ka lawe ʻana i nā memo.
Ua hoʻomau ʻia ka makemake i ka hana mele ma ke kula. Ma laila, hiki i ke kaikamahine ke aʻo kūʻokoʻa i ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pahu a me nā kī, a mai ke kālā mua i loaʻa iā ia, ua loaʻa iā ia ka sampler huaʻōlelo mua.
I ka like me ka mele, ua makemake ʻo Tony i ka basketball mai kona wā ʻōpiopio. Wahi a ia, ʻo nā haʻuki, me nā mele, ke kōkua maikaʻi i ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā pilikia āpau o ke ola.
ʻOihana mele ʻo Tones and I
Ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe, ua ʻike ke kaikamahine ua makemake nui ʻo ia i nā mele uila. Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia i ka hoʻokolohua a hoʻāʻo e ʻike iā ia iho i kēia ʻano. Kākoʻo mau nā mākua i kā lākou mau keiki, a no ko lākou lā hānau ua hāʻawi lākou i kahi makana i kali lōʻihi ʻia - kahi mīkini pahu, kahi i kākau ai ʻo Tony i nā mele mua.
ʻAʻole i hoʻomaka ka hana hoʻomohala e hāʻawi i kahi kālā nui. Ua loaʻa iā Tony kahi hana ma ke kūʻai aku, akā ʻaʻole i haʻalele i nā hoʻokolohua mele.
Wahi huki
Ua hoʻonohonoho ke kaikamahine i nā hana mua ma kona kūlanakauhale i nā ʻahaʻaina kūloko, ʻaʻole naʻe i koho i kahi inoa kahua. Ma 2018, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Tony i ka hoʻoholo hoʻoholo e alualu i kāna ʻike makakū a hāʻawi iā ia iho i ke mele.
Ua haʻalele ʻo ia i kāna hana, loaʻa iā ia kahi palapala hōʻike alanui a hāʻawi i kāna mau gigs mua ma Melbourne. Wahi a Tony hoʻomanaʻo, pono ʻo ia e hīmeni ma nā wahi kaʻa kaʻa a me nā kahakai.
E pāʻani i kahi piano haʻihaʻi, akā naʻe, ua lawa kāna kālā e ola ai. Noho ʻo ia i kēlā manawa i kahi hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni i kūʻai ʻia me ka mālama kālā, ʻaʻole i hoʻopilikia iki i ke kaikamahine ʻōpio.
ʻO ka hui nui
Ma hope o ka hana aʻe, ua hoʻokokoke kekahi kanaka iā Tony a hāʻawi iā ia i kahi kāleka ʻoihana me kahi noi e kāhea iā ia i kēlā me kēia manawa kūpono.
ʻAʻole i manaʻo nui ke kaikamahine i kēia ʻano hana a poina no kekahi manawa no ka hālāwai. Eia naʻe, hāwanawana mau ka leo o loko iā ia i ʻole ʻo ia e kānalua a hoʻāʻo koke e hopu i ka manawa i hiki mai. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Toni e kelepona, a ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kona pilina aloha me ka luna hoʻokele e hiki mai ana a me ka haʻalele ʻana i kāna ʻoihana.
I ka makahiki 2018, ma lalo o ke alakaʻi koʻikoʻi a kahi luna akamai, ua hoʻomohala ʻo Tony i kāna mau mele mele, me ka hoʻōki ʻole i ka hana ma ka lehulehu. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i wikiwiki i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, a ma hope mai ʻo ia ka hoʻoholo kūpono. Me he mea lā ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo Tony i kahi charisma kūʻokoʻa a me kahi kālena kūʻokoʻa, a laila e lanakila koke i nā puʻuwai o nā miliona o nā mea pā a puni ka honua.
ʻO ka hana mua a ka mea mele ʻo Tones & Eye
I ka pūnāwai mua o 2019, ua ʻike ʻia ka Tones mua a me aʻu i kapa ʻia ʻo Johnny Run Away. ʻO kēia haku mele, i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ka hoaaloha maikaʻi loa o ka mea mele, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ka portal pūnaewele ʻo Triple J Unearthed. Ua "huhū" maoli ʻo ia i ka lehulehu o ke kahawai a ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi i kahi lā ma hope ua ala ke kaikamahine i kaulana.
ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi aʻe he ʻaelike i hāʻawi ʻia e ka lepili Australian Lemon Tree Music. I kēia manawa hiki iā Tony ke hāʻawi piha iā ia iho i kāna hana punahele a hoʻomaka i ka huakaʻi me kāna repertoire ponoʻī. Ua hoʻomaka ka papahana Tones me wau i kāna huakaʻi lanakila a puni ka honua.
Ma hope mai, hoʻomanaʻo ka mea mele ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e manaʻoʻiʻo i ka kūleʻa o ka ʻoihana, i ʻole e hoka. Hāʻawi ke kaikamahine iā ia iho i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana e hoʻāʻo wale ana ʻo ia a hoʻopuka i ke mele no ka makemake o ka ʻimi. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i manaʻo i kēlā kūleʻa i loko o kāna mau moeʻuhane ʻino loa.
ʻElua mahina ma hope o ka holomua o ka mele mua, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke mele ʻo Dance Monkey. Ua lilo koke ia i mea paʻi ma nā pakuhi ma mua o 10 mau ʻāina a puni ka honua. Ua hōʻiliʻili ke kiʻi wikiō no kēia haku mele i nā miliona o nā manaʻo ma ka pūnaewele, e hāpai ana iā Tony i luna o ka kaulana. I ka waenakonu o ke kauwela, ua kūʻai ʻia aku nā tiketi a pau no ka huakaʻi mua ʻo Tones a me aʻu, a ua hoʻolaha ʻia ka album studio mua i kapa ʻia ʻo The Kids Fre Coming.
ʻO nā mea hoihoi e pili ana iā Tones and I
ʻOiai nā manaʻo māmā o nā mele ʻo Tones and I, ʻaʻole he mea ʻole nā huaʻōlelo a hōʻike i ka manaʻo o ka mea mele.
Ma ke mele ʻo Dance Monkey, ʻōlelo ka mea mele ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kū ma laila. Pono e hoʻomau i ka neʻe ʻana i mua, e hōʻike ana i nā hits ponoʻī e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka haku mele ʻo Johnny Run Away e haʻi e pili ana i ka hopena paʻakikī o kahi kanaka ʻōpio. Hoʻoikaika ka mea hoʻolohe i kahi moʻolelo pōkole akā pōʻino.
ʻO ka The Kids Are Coming e noʻonoʻo ai ka mea hoʻolohe i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o ka nohona hou i nā makemake a me nā pono o ka poʻe ʻōpio.
ʻAʻole like me ka nui o kāna mau hoa hana ma ka hale hana, hoʻāʻo ʻo ia i kāna hana e nānā i ka haʻahaʻa semantic, ʻaʻole i ka mele māmā a me ka poina. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nānā ʻana i ka hana a kahi kālena ʻōpio i lanakila i nā koho ʻeono o ka Australian Recording Industry Association ma lalo o hoʻokahi makahiki.
