Tones And I: Favourite Aussie Songs

“It makes me proud to be in the company of so many great Aussie artists,” Tones And I—Toni Watson—tells Apple Music. The artist’s track “Dance Monkey” is one of the most-streamed Australian songs on Apple Music, and when it comes to great local music, she knows she’s in good company. “These aren't just some of my favourite songs and artists,” she says, “but some of my favourite peers.” Explore her handpicked favourite Aussie songs in this playlist, and read on for more on her top picks. Daryl Braithwaite, “The Horses” “It would be un-Australian not to have one of our national anthems added to the list. There are not many parties or road trips where this song does not make an appearance.” Angie McMahon, “Slow Mover” “This is a special song in our home. With late night sing-alongs around the piano, this often gets a run.” Adrian Eagle, “17 Again” “This is a beautiful song that tells Adrian's story—how far he has come and the beautiful and spiritual man that he is today.” Kaiit, “Miss Shiney” “Kaiit is such a talented artist with so much soul, and this song makes you feel that soul coming through.” Gang of Youths, “Magnolia” “Gang of Youths are one of mine and my fiancé’s favourite bands. This song reminds of the early days of our relationship and special memories.” Hilltop Hoods & Illy, “Exit Sign” “I was always a big fan of the Hilltop boys and Illy’s—still am. They have been the pillars of Australian rap, so this collaboration makes me appreciate what they have done in this space for such a long time.”
