The album’s lead single, “Happiness,” recently reached No.1 at both AAA and Americana Radio.
This is the band’s first-ever No.1 single, building on the Top 5 success of both “Miles and Miles” and “Go Down River” from their critically acclaimed breakout EP, Life and Life Only. In addition to “Happiness,” the new album tracklisting’s myriad high points include the majestic title track, the feel-good and carefree love song “Because You’re Mine,” the bass-driven and gorgeously hazy “Miracle Sun,” “Wild Emotion,” a country-infused serenade laced with galloping rhythms and twangy guitar tones, the experimental, and reverb-soaked closing track, “Salina.”
Written entirely by co-founders Georgie Fuller and Will Turner and mostly recorded at Turner’s studio in Brighton, One Of A Kind maintains the self-contained approach of their debut EP, Life and Life Only — a seven-song project acclaimed by outlets like NME (who named them an essential emerging artist for 2023), The Guardian (who called them “brilliant” and noted that The Heavy Heavy “write and play music with that lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling”), and FLOOD (who named them “one of the brightest new UK acts”). But in a departure from the EP, One Of A Kind leans away from Laurel Canyon-esque folk-rock and fully embraces their British roots, finding a particularly crucial inspiration in the gritty and groove-heavy hedonism of the Rolling Stones’ Goats Head Soup.
