I remember the time when Rishi Rich, Juggy D and Jay Sean were ruling the Asian music charts with hits such as ‘Soniyeh’, ‘Eyes On You’ and ‘Dance With You’.

These tracks gave the pop genre in Asian music a much-needed kick start and for a while we haven’t heard anything from Rishi Rich as a producer that represents the style we have come to know and love of him.

But now that he has paired up with the Bonafide duo, the new single ‘Only One’ will certainly put him back on the map for doing what he does best.

Now it’s not only Rishi’s contribution that makes this single, which is fast becoming one of my favourite songs of the year so far, successful.

The song has simple yet catchy lyrics, the video concept is new and the boys from Bonafide are so easy to like that this song cannot fail.

The boys; Maz and Ziggy’s roles in the video mean that we get to see the dynamic, charming side to them and I for one, took an instant liking to them.

I was glad to see that for once it wasn’t the same old story of guys in a club surrounded by drinks bottles and that they took the risk to do something different.

The lookalikes was a great idea, it had me wondering who everyone was supposed to be and the short but sweet cameo by Rashy Rashid/Jimmy ‘Hard Nails was a nice touch. Even the two young boys and their dancing skills was a brilliant addition and added some energy to the song. 

My only niggle, and yes there’s ‘only one’… is that this song would have made a great summer release but now that’s just me being picky.

Whatever the weather, ‘Only One’ is the perfect injection of fun and playfulness into our ears and I can’t wait to hear it on the radio when I’m driving.

MY Verdict: If the momentum of this track continues as it is, this song will be popular in the whole run up to the summer and probably for years to come. I will be quite shocked if ‘Only One’ doesn’t make to the number one spot on the charts, someone will have some explaining to do.
