Nadine Randle - Waterfalls

Waterfalls - Nadine Randle (Pop) Nadine Randle belts about new beginnings and returning to self in her driving ballad, “Waterfalls.” Beginning with a haunting piano, the track quickly builds into a driving and anthemic number, reminiscent of some of Jessie J’s power ballads—think “Thunder.” Nadine’s vocals are strong and powerful, and the track rightfully centers her instrument. Far from the use of the word in the iconic TLC song, here Nadine uses the imagery of a waterfall to capture the overwhelming feeling of when you remember who you are and it all comes back to you. Not just a sing-along in the shower cut, the track also begs for a bevy of dance remixes.

Best Lyric: “Feels like I lost who I was, finally I got myself back.”
