"Power" - Nuala | Review

“Power” by Nuala is a transformative ballad of self-empowerment that exudes confidence and self-love within every note. The track begins with Nuala’s smooth vocals accompanied by soft acoustic guitar, followed by a subtle introduction of strings in the pre-chorus. The chorus strikes with raw intensity, as Nuala boldly sings: “I might just take back my power, I might just do it myself.” These lyrics resonated deeply, speaking to anyone who has ever found themselves feeling like their sense of self was taken away from them. I felt as if they were the perfect blend of vulnerability and strength, which go hand in hand. The track’s underlying message of reclaiming control and stepping into one's power is amplified by the spirited ad-libs and a light tambourine that adds a touch of rhythm to the mix.

Nuala, known for her powerful and dynamic vocals, has been captivating audiences across the globe with her masterful blend of lyrics, melodies, and fiery stage presence. A true force in both the indie and dance music scenes, she has performed at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, and Boomtown, sharing the stage with icons like Newton Faulkner and Razorlight. As a versatile artist, Nuala’s live performances are marked by a unique combination of wholesome energy and fiery attitude, which has earned her a loyal following. Beyond her live performances, Nuala is recognized as one of the U.K.'s most sought-after feature vocalists. Her debut dance alias Nu-La made waves in 2022 with “Love Again” alongside CHANEY, reaching over 20 million streams across digital platforms. Since then, she’s continued to collaborate with top-tier artists in the dance music world, spanning across genres from EDM to drum and bass. With upcoming collaborations with Acraze, Sonny Fodera, Meduza, Camelphat, and Benny Benassi, Nuala is solidifying her place as one of the most exciting and powerful voices in modern music.

Toward the end of the song, Nuala ends the last pre-chorus with “This is the beginning of leaving who I’m not,” leading into the final, cathartic chorus. “Power” perfectly embodies the feeling of liberation, leaving listeners with a sense of empowerment, ready to take on the world.
