In “Not The One,” Hope Raney delivers a gutsy mix of hip-hop and soul, radiating a vibe of self-assurance and independence. Her voice, properly blending a savory soprano with touches of alto, delivers lines like, “Maybe I will or maybe I won’t / But don’t expect for me to give you what you want,” establishing her as a self-reliant lady who doesn’t suffer fuckbois lightly. With Lenio Purry at the production helm, the beat in this track is a powerful concoction of intense drums and mellow keyboard melodies. It’s not a sad song about lost love. It’s more like a victory anthem for nights out, where you’re feeling too good about yourself to waste time crying over someone.
When Hope comes in with her rhymes, the song’s vibe shifts gears. Lines like “Seven figures/ I’m thinking bigger/ I’m in my own lane, yeah, I move different” are more than just braggin’ writes. She’s not just talking about making it big – she’s talking about self-respect and setting the bar high. “Not The One” is a real battle cry for standing your ground and knowing who you are, all wrapped up in Raney’s one-of-a-kind sound. In this track, Hope Raney doesn’t just spit verses; she lays down a manifesto of self-worth, wrapped in a rhythm that sticks to your ribs.
