Song Review: ‘Only One’ by Travis Finlay focuses on the certainty associated with knowing what you want from a relationship. “It’s all about when you know exactly what you want, when you really feel it: nothing else matters,” says Finlay. This concept captures listeners in a sensual R&B experience, complemented by visuals that bring out more of the performance aspect of it. Shot in various places around Brooklyn, like DUMBO, the outside of Juliana’s Pizza, and a private studio, the music video also features a rising R&B singer, Kendallislate.
