Dot Allison has premiered the video for her tranquil single “One Love” directed by Maria Mochnacz. The single is taken from the singer’s critically acclaimed album “Heart Shaped-Scars”, her first album in 12 years.

The singer in detailing the meaning of the single stated that it involves an individual who requires assurance from their relationship. The singer’s first musical outing was with her band One Dove in the early 1990s. The singer’s solo success began with the release of her album “Afterglow” in 1999 which received a positive reception.

The director for the video for the single is both a photographer and music video director. The director is also known for her work with PJ Harvey. Cameraman John Minton and Honor and Hopey were enlisted for the filming of the video.

The video was filmed within two hot days in July in Bristol and Wales. The director stated in page press release: “We did keep an eye on the weather and move dates to fit to make sure we got good weather as the video was entirely weather dependent but had no idea it would be quite so hot! “.

The singer said that the flowers in the video possess symbolic meaning and stated “The flower metaphors are rare flowers used to signify a rare, precious, all encompassing love. Blood Camellia suggests flesh, veins and a pulse, Fire Lilies imbue a sense of passion and Juliette Rose seems to hint at Shakespeare.” 

The single has been described as almost being eerily gentle and was written by the singer before the pandemic and reshaped during the lockdown.

In respect to the reshaping of the video during the lockdown, the singer stated “It ended up benefiting the record, even though it’s not a positive thing,” The singer has not yet released details of a tour for her album “Heart Shaped-Scars”. Watch Dot Allison’s video for “One Love” here.
