"One Milkali (One Blood)" is a song by Australian synth pop duo Electric Fields. It was written by both members of the duo, and has lyrics in English and Yankunytjatjara, an Aboriginal Australian language. It was released on 5 March 2024 through Sony Music Australia. The song represented Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, and finished in 11th place with 41 points at semi final one.

Background and composition

"One Milkali (One Blood)" was written by the members of Electric Fields, Michael Ross and Zaachariaha Fielding.[1] The song is written in English, but has lines in the Yankunytjatjara language.[2] According to Fielding, Yankunytjatjara was added as a way to honour his community in Mimili in Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara, also known as APY.[3][2][a] It was written in 2019 as a potential song when the duo competed in Eurovision – Australia Decides that year.[5] The song was originally inspired by an Aboriginal Australian painting that Robert Fielding, Zaachariaha's father, had made titled Milkali Kutju, which symbolizes non-indigenous Australians and Aboriginal Australians working together.[6]

In a press release given out by SBS, the duo stated that the song's title referred to the song's message of advocated for togetherness. They praised Aboriginal Australian culture, stating, "Aboriginal culture has a way of dealing with situations... You don't have to jump on anybody to get what you want. You can actually dialogue it out."[7] An analysis written by Sebastian Diaz of Wiwibloggs that addressed the mathematical references of the inverse of the golden ratio base, which is used to maintain balance, claimed that it was put in to address "how both significant and insignificant we are in the world", advocating all members of society to come together as a singular entity for the greater good.[8] Ross also has stated desires for the song being used as "a tool to heal" in light of the Israel–Hamas war.[9]

Critical reception

In a Wiwibloggs review containing several reviews from several critics, the song was rated 6.37 out of 10 points.[10] Vulture's Jon O'Brien ranked the song 25th overall, opining that "its muted house-pop sound may struggle to make itself heard in a year that has completely eschewed the idea that less is more".[11]
