About the song "Only" (2020) - ZHU and Tinashe
Table of Contents
Producer Zhu has teamed up with pop singer Tinashe for a collaborative song. "Only" is a dark electronic pop track with gradual build up and subtle production elements that hold the listener from start to finish.
At first, Zhu's vocals emit the feel of any The Weeknd track, but when Tinashe's voice comes in, she does her own part, giving the song an enticing but soulful feel.
Clip "ONLY."
Against the backdrop of a global lockdown, the official music video for "ONLY" explores the link between isolation and voyeurism as viewers get a glimpse of ZHU and Tinashe, each alone in a city centre loft. The clip was directed by Jack Murgatroyd (Coldplay, Flume, ODESZA), who also helmed ZHU's "Came For The Low" video.
Director Jack Murgatroyd said:
"The video tries to reflect the current moment, this ubiquitous feeling of insecurity and anxiety. It was our creative approach to exploring these emotions, an abstract way of trying to tap into our feelings of isolation and redundancy."
Along with the release of "ONLY", ZHU has launched a new line of merchandise that includes face masks, mask, aloe hand sanitiser, t-shirts, hooded sweatshirt, kimono top, sunglasses with chain and case, hats, bandanas, pillows and bags.
