Logic1000 has released "The Only One," a new single featuring Christine and the Queens, out September 2, 2026 via Therapy/Because Music. The track arrives with a music video and serves as the latest preview of Logic1000's second studio album, Confirmation!, due October 2, 2026.
What Is "The Only One" and Who Made the Video
The video for "The Only One" is directed by filmmaker Dora Paphides and choreographed by Lucy Brooks, with Sky Cook serving as assistant choreographer. It stars Christine and the Queens, who performs under the name Rahim, alongside a young dance troupe from Worthing, a coastal town in southern England. According to the press release, this is the first fully realized music video Logic1000 has released.
The production itself is described by Logic1000, whose full name is Samantha Poulter, as "ethereal, deep and open." The two artists had a prior connection before this collaboration: Poulter remixed Christine and the Queens' "La vita nuova" in 2020. Despite years of building a creative relationship remotely, they had not met in person until the filming of this video.
Christine and the Queens wrote about the track: "It was a true honor and inspiration for me to work with Logic1000. I immediately jumped on my mic and felt this urge to sing to the younger generations, the one who will have to take over the sorry burning world our elders legated them. This song is dedicated to them, the young who will change this world. Music has to be a vessel for hope, and it's with pride I give my entire trust to the new dreamers, the new builders of humanity. You are the only ones. Your power is respected and revered by all the artists and thinkers of this world. We trust you to make that change. With love."
Poulter added: "From the early sketches of The Only One, we knew Rahim would be the perfect voice for this song. He embraced the track and put so much love into it. The turn around was extraordinarily quick too. We didn't know which direction he would take with the lyrics but once we got the draft it confirmed our suspicions that he was the perfect man for the song. Honestly, he is a generational talent, which you can also see in the music video for the track."
What Is on Logic1000's Album Confirmation! and When Does It Drop
Confirmation! is Logic1000's second studio album and follows her 2024 debut Mother and her contribution to the DJ-Kicks mix series. The album is out October 2, 2026 via Therapy/Because Music and is available to preorder now.
The release spans house, pop, downtempo, trip-hop, and leftfield electronica. Collaborators on the album include Kučka, Jam City, FAUZIA, yunè pinku, Tiffi M, and Christine and the Queens. No producer credits for individual tracks were listed in the release beyond Poulter's own production role.
The album's themes, according to the release, center on acceptance, growth, self-belief, and moving away from a fixed self-image.
Samantha Poulter has performed at Glastonbury, Coachella, and Primavera. She completed a sold-out four-night residency at London's Phonox. She has also produced remixes for Dua Lipa, Shygirl, and Don Toliver. Artists including Four Tet, Floating Points, and Caribou have publicly supported her work, according to the release.
Who Is Christine and the Queens
Christine and the Queens is a French artist who has released work under multiple personas, including Redcar. Past albums include Chaleur Humaine, which the press release states sold over 1.4 million copies worldwide, the 2023 album PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE co-produced with Mike Dean and featuring Madonna and 070 Shake, and the 2024 project Hopecore. A collaborative EP with Cerrone, Catching Feelings, is also part of the catalog. Live performance and visual theatricality are central to the project.
"The Only One" is streaming now. Confirmation! is out October 2 via Therapy/Because Music and available to preorder.
For independent artists, the rollout here is worth studying. Poulter built a relationship with a major collaborator through a remix in 2020, kept that connection active over several years, and brought it into her album campaign in a way that feels earned rather than transactional. The music video, her first, was made with a young director and a local dance troupe rather than a large production.
