Dancing, Alone is the second studio album by British singer/songwriter Ten Tonnes. It was released on 28 July 2023 via Silver Heat Records, Ten Tonnes' own label.[4] Dancing, Alone is Ten Tonnes' first album as an independent artist, after parting ways with Warner Records.[5] The album peaked at number 19 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.[6]

Background and release

[edit]

On 8 February 2023, Ten Tonnes, whose real name is Ethan Barnett, announced the album on social media, with a release date of 28 July 2023, and alongside the announcement, he released the album's first single, "Monday Morning".[7] In the announcement, Barnett said, "I have written, produced and performed this record myself and it means the world to me. I can't wait for you to hear it, I am so immensely proud of it."[8] Speaking about "Monday Morning", he states, "I wrote this song at the tail end of 2020 while I was trying lots of different ideas out for the new album. I think lyrically it's a clear reflection of where my mental health was at the point. The opening verses are very introspective and dark at points and I wanted the chorus to open up and feel a lot more euphoric in contrast."[7]

The second single, "Dancing, Alone", was released on 5 April 2023.[9][10]

The third single, "Lone Star", was released on 9 May 2023.[11][12]

The fourth single, "Drowning in the Deep End", was released on 14 June 2023.[13][14]

Critical reception

[edit]

Writing for Clash, Narzra Ahmed admitted "some of the songs are a little cheesy in both their production and – to an extent – the lyrical content" but that they are "never overtly so and we embrace this because the tracks are so relatable."[2] Reviewing the album for The Line of Best Fit, Christopher Hamilton-Peach states, "Barnett situates a meditative focus at the forefront without sacrificing a high-octane persona", and declares "downtempo and runaway momentum exist in harmony, leaving space for diverging themes to be aired in a free-flowing fashion and in continuity with the first album’s contagious core".[1] Karl Blakesley of Gigwise said the album "is the sound of Barnett finding his feet as a recording musician again", and that it's one that "gets back-to-basics, as Barnett crafts an assured collection of no-fuss rock ‘n’ roll anthems, filled with hypnotic and varied riffs alongside big singalong choruses."[3]
