Fast forward to today. The chaotic busker is still there, but she’s got wisdom now. Her music has layers. Listen to "Fly Away" or "Never Seen the Rain." Those aren’t novelty hits—they’re anthems for people who feel a bit lost.

Her voice changed too. Not the tone, but the control. She uses that squeak like a tool now, not a crutch. She whispers, she belts, she even cracks a note on purpose for drama. It’s like watching a kid who learned to drive a stick shift.
And the style? Huge upgrade. She still rocks the thrift vibe, but now it’s intentional. Think high-fashion streetwear mixed with "I just woke up like this." She’s collaborating with legends like Diplo. Diplo! Past Tones would have fainted.
The Real Glow-Up
The biggest change? She stopped caring about being a pop machine. Her new stuff, like "Chanter" or "I Made It," feels personal. She talks about imposter syndrome, about missing home, about the fear of being a one-hit wonder. Spoiler: She’s not.
But here’s the twist: she still plays "Dance Monkey" at shows. She just does it with a smirk. It’s her weird child, and she loves it, but she’s not raising it anymore. She’s let it go to college.
Also, can we talk about her live energy? Old Tones was a feral gremlin on stage. New Tones? She’s a professional feral gremlin. She pauses, jokes with the crowd, cries a little. It’s less a performance and more a group therapy session.
