Setting the tone with astral keys and an immersive frequency, Destiny Imani opens Only One with charm, emotion and the lyrics, “You’re my one in a billion, there’s no better feeling, you make me feel like I’m the Only One…”
We immediately appreciate the authentic energy that Destiny Imani shares with her prose and poetic prowess. The opus expands into a luscious contemporary R&B energy, detailing the connection between two lovers.
Speaking on the release, the rising star from Los Angeles confesses, “Only One is a song about undeniable love and desire. It is about a journey that has no specific destination but instead tells the tale of two lovers who want nothing more than to love each other wholly.”
This really comes through in Destiny Imani‘s charismatic delivery and the tangible love energy that she exudes on the composition. We are in awe of the instrumentation, specifically the strings arrangement, which has a transcendental edge, fused cohesively with Destiny’s vocals to create an evocative tapestry of sound.
We learn that the track also features Destiny Imani‘s muse as a secret guest vocalist, speaking on the collaboration, Destiny tells us, “The choice of having a feature on this song was intentional. I felt that it would make the song more real and truthful, and honesty is something I always strive for. I really hope that everyone who listens to this song is able to feel and relate to the experience that I felt when creating it.”
Born in Los Angeles, California, Destiny Imani found her love for music in church. Being raised in the church provided her the opportunity to listen and learn gospel music. This soon transpired into Destiny pursuing her own inspiring artist journey, and the songs that we are experiencing from the artist in the present day.
We have added Only One to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Destiny Imani‘s wider discography including Again, and For You.
