Rising star David Watkyns has released his highly anticipated third single, “Oh No! (This Could Be Love),” from his debut album No Other Love.
This track is a vibrant blend of 80’s synths, powerful brass solos, and catchy, chant-like vocals that transport listeners through an emotive journey of love and excitement.
Co-produced with the upcoming Kilian Wes, the song draws significant influence from iconic artists such as Peter Gabriel, New Radicals, and The 1975, encapsulating a narrative of a runaway lover caught between fear and the thrill of new love.
The accompanying music video, directed by the talented filmmaker Josh Hayman, showcases David performing while cruising along Cape Town’s breathtaking coastline in a vintage 1950’s Austin Healey sportscar.
This visual celebration of Cape Town’s stunning scenery adds an extra layer of charm and nostalgia to the track, further solidifying David’s unique artistic vision.
