Ravyn Lenae shares new single "One Wish" featuring Childish Gambino
Ravyn Lenae links up with Childish Gambino on new single, "One Wish", which is the latest preview of her second album, Bird's Eye.
The Dahi-produced single finds Lenae at her most vulnerable, examining her relationship with her mostly absentee father. The song arrives alongside an Andre Muir-directed music video that depicts some of the specific instances that inspired the song while exploring expectation – and the pain that comes with one being let down in their expectations – across a variety of relationships.
"One of the most beautiful things about making ‘Bird’s Eye’ was the amount of reflection that was required to truly tell a story that felt clear and honest. Digging into the nooks + crannies of my journey so far was so rewarding in many ways, but it’s most meaningful when it manifests into tangible change in my life. “One Wish” is one of the most important songs on the album b/c it highlights the complex relationship I’ve had with my Dad,” she says.
“The lyrics remember my 10th birthday + feeling upset that he couldn’t make it," she continues. "It was important for me to address these built-up emotions in song in order for us to now be on a beautiful path of genuinely learning [about] each other + rekindling. Something valuable I’ve learned is being able to really humanize my loved ones and understand the context around people more deeply. I love you Dad and so happy we’re here."
"One Wish" joins the previously released singles "Dream Girl" with Ty Dolla $ign, "Love Me Not", and "Love Is Blind," on Bird's Eye.
Bird's Eye is set for release on 9 August, and is available to pre-order now.
