Lola Young – One Thing
American Music Award, three time Ivor Novello and Brit-nominated South London singer / songwriter Lola Young shares her new single “One Thing,” today.
Anchored by fluttery guitar melodies and a head-bobbing dub groove, “One Thing” showcases Lola’s provocative gift for spoken word and tremendous vocal ability. Speaking about her new song, Lola shares, “It’s a song that on first listen sounds like I’m talking about one thing. Sex. Which I am, of course. However sex in itself is never about one thing.”
Accompanied by a music video captured by revered director Dave Meyers (Little Simz, SZA, Sabrina Carpenter), the cleverly-cut visual brings Lola’s much-adored tongue in cheek humour to life on screen. Lola shares, “I wanted to make a song and music video that is thought-provoking and highlights sex being both a fun and light thing, not always meaningful, as well as showing how gender roles can be reversed.” Built around different scenarios; a first date, an all-girls class room, remaining undefeated in a boxing ring with ex-lovers and Lola making out with herself for good measure, “One Thing” ushers a new era for the South London artist.
