Tendayi's "One Love" Is a Pure Ray of Light

Have you ever breathed in joy? This is what it probably feels like.

Look, let's not even address contexts, timeliness, or whatnot because hope, joy, and positivity are always welcome. Even so, it's tough to nail those feelings without veering into treacliness or disingenuousness, but it seems that English singer Tendayi has nailed it with his new song "One Love." Over a sparkling, harmonically pleasing beat by M.L.J, Tendayi expresses devotion to an old flame with honesty and the kind of nostalgic tint that makes people forget where they are.

"'One Love' is about the first girl I fell in love with, I didn't know how to express to her how much love I had for her so I just wrote a song about it instead to explain. M.L.J Tha Beatmaker sent me the instrumental and as soon as I heard it, I knew exactly what to write about. The whole song makes me feel a lot of happiness, it's really bright and it gives off such a colourful vibe." Listen to "One Love" below.
