Michael Kiwanuka Shares New Music Video For “One And Only”

Michael Kiwanuka has just shared a video for “One And Only,” from his fourth album, Small Changes, released just this past Friday. Directed by award-winning director Malia Ann, the video features a woman in nature with haunting, dream-like imagery that complements the song’s introspective tone. The camera work is slow and deliberate, often lingering on close-ups of the woman or landscapes, emphasizing the melancholy mood. With an ethereal quality to the video, Ann explores the song’s themes of love, vulnerability and connection.

Following the album and video’s release, Kiwanuka has also embarked on a small-scale tour playing small venues across the United Kingdom in preparation of his full United Kingdom/European tour next year, according to a press release.

Prior to the release of his album, Small Changes, Kiwanuka also shared his song “Rebel Soul” in anticipation of the full release. While talking about the album, he said it was motivated behind the desire to transcend what is considered to be “cool”, adding, “We were trying to shoot for something that might have made it onto a Bill Withers album or a Sade album.”
