Former First Daughter and aspiring filmmaker Malia Obama makes her music video directorial debut with a visually arresting video for Michael Kiwanuka's latest single.

AceShowbiz - Malia Obama, also known by her alias Malia Ann, continues to expand her cinematic portfolio with a gripping music video for Michael Kiwanuka's "One and Only." The eerie video features a woman chasing her doppelganger through an isolated forest, culminating in a surreal encounter between the two versions of herself.

Her work has also screened at prestigious film festivals such as Telluride, Toronto, and Sundance.

"One and Only" is the fourth single from Kiwanuka's critically acclaimed album, "Small Changes," which was released in November 2022. The album has garnered widespread praise, with Kiwanuka's soulful vocals and introspective lyrics winning over fans and critics alike.

In a recent interview, Kiwanuka spoke about the creative journey behind "Small Changes" and how working with super-producer Danger Mouse and London-based producer Inflo helped him embrace his own voice, "There's strength in your voice. People always try to tell you but you don't hear it... But now I think I just want to sound like me."

Malia Obama's directorial vision for the "One and Only" music video aligns with Kiwanuka's newfound confidence in his artistry. The video's haunting imagery creates a compelling narrative that explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and the search for connection.

"One and Only" marks Obama's first venture into music video direction, adding to her growing list of cinematic achievements. With her unique vision and storytelling ability, Malia Obama continues to establish herself as an emerging force in the entertainment industry.
