Hailes has never been a rapper. However, when producer Daniel laid down this infectious beat she couldn’t help herself, and the nucleus of ‘Only One’ was born. Combining a melodic chorus with an urban landscape, this latest offering is likely to get into your head. As always, the authenticity of her artistry is apparent in genuine, thoughtful lyrics that create a tender yet groovy ambiance for her listeners.

Speaking to us about the single she says: “During the pandemic I escaped to a little beach house in Cape Cod with my writing partner/ producer Daniel and this is one of the songs that came out of that time. We wanted to get away from the chaos that was New York City at the time, and surround ourselves with good vibes and nature. This inspiration behind the song was the excitement of a person I had just met and the prospect of falling in love in the summertime. This is the first time I played with rapping on one of my records. I don’t consider myself a rapper at all, but for some reason when Daniel started creating this beat, the words just flowed out as a rap.”
