Ebony Riley Releases Smoldering Video For “Only You”
R&B starlet Ebony Riley (Riley Montana, Inc./Interscope Records) makes her long-awaited return with “Only You,” a sultry slow-burn that introduces a sexier side of her artistry. Built on hypnotic production and intimate vocals, the track captures the intoxicating pull of a love too powerful to resist.
Directed by Andre Ladon, the visual finds Ebony at her most uninhibited. Set inside a local strip club, she commands the room with a steamy choreographed routine alongside a troupe of dancers, who, like Ebony, are all seductive, confident, and entirely in control. Celebrating the beauty of relationships, Ebony plays into her man’s fantasy, morphing into the woman of his dreams, even amid the other dancers in his presence. This week, Ebony reached a new milestone on the Billboard charts with “Only You” climbing to No. 22 on the Adult R&B Airplay charts.
The track for “Only You” is produced by CasperDoItAgain (Jeezy/TLC), Jitta On The Track and Fu and is executive produced by Larrance “Rance” Dopson of 1500 or Nothin’.
In 2024, Riley delivered a string of standout singles, from the breezy summer anthem “Where They At” (produced by Tommy Brown and Leather Jackettt) to the contemplative “Mirror,” a self-affirming reflection on what she deserves in life.
Her rise began in 2023 with her self-titled debut EP, a critically acclaimed project that vaulted Riley onto R&B’s main stage. The project not only earned her praise from Billboard, Okayplayer, and NYLON—as well as a coveted spot on Complex’s “R&B Artists to Watch” list—but also led to major live moments, including a BET Awards performance and opening slots for Jazmine Sullivan and Coco Jones.
Beyond the mic, Riley has proven herself a force in fashion, gracing runways and campaigns for the likes of Beyoncé’s Renaissance album, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, and Bottega Veneta.
With “Only You,” Ebony Riley reaffirms her place as one of R&B’s most captivating rising voices – daring, sultry, and unafraid to bare the heat of her burning love.
