When Abi Muir unveiled On One Knee, she did more than just shake up the neo-RnB scene, she served a power-laden anthem that swaggers with sultry confidence and unapologetic command. The staccato guitars undulate like the tide behind Abi’s velvet-soft yet iron-strong vocals, bringing cinematic nostalgia and a new sense of freedom to a genre so often lost in shallow games and sugar-coating. Here, romanticism reclaims its rightful place in the mainstream, with Muir taking a sledgehammer to the concept of being anybody’s second choice.
There’s a subtle groove pulsing through every beat, with each lyric dripping in bold, feminine fire; a battle cry for anyone who’s been left picking up the pieces. Forget shrinking to fit someone else’s mould, Abi’s vocals flicker with vulnerability one minute and burn with savage self-worth the next.
If you’re craving a post-heartbreak soundtrack that doesn’t wallow in regret but flips the whole narrative, this is it. The real beauty of On One Knee lies in the way it transforms heartbreak into a statement of intent; it’s the sound of a woman reclaiming her worth, putting herself first, and demanding the world rise to meet her.
Abi Muir’s ascent in the new wave of emotionally charged pop has seen her take the stage across Australia and abroad, with her music racking up accolades, radio chart success, and streaming numbers that speak volumes. Her voice, described as a tropical breeze in the music world, now carries the weight of an anthem that every girl’s night out deserves to have on repeat.
On One Knee is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
