“The One” feels like a love song dedicated to R&B, soul, and hip-hop. Singer Joy Ng’s smooth, smoky tone is coiled in ethereal background vocals and golden soundscapes. Every detail, every melody, every layer in Ori Shlez’s track is tuned to perfection while the heart sings for what it desires. “The One” is such a rare and precious encounter in the busy, ambitious industry.

Ori Shlez is fully elaborating music making as a form of art in his production and songwriting. The level of intricacy, intimacy and aesthetic is at the top of its game. The composer/producer collaborates with award-winning artists And emerging talents on his personal project — a debut album is currently in work. “The One” is one of the tracks that offer a sneak peek into Ori Shlez’s upcoming project.

The prolific and framed music producer has previously worked with numerous artists, including Grammy-winning singers and songwriters. His virtuoso status doesn’t need more introduction, but “The One” is where he realizes all his creative desires and imagines so fully without compromise, and final work is simply brilliant and stunning that its light dims all the other songs in the room.

“The One” feels like a lover’s touch, but there’s a bit of melancholy in the undertone. A subtlety of nostalgia and longing, but it’s graceful. Shlez’s work has a sort of timelessness in its tone. It’s where precision meets history and modernism that shines so purely and brightly as if it’s love itself.
