London-based singer-songwriter Nuala has thoroughly captured a deeply personal feeling with “Power,” a soulful, emotionally honest pop anthem delivered through STNS. It is a reclamation that is hard to believe wasn’t written just for you.
“Power” grabs you not by being brash but quietly intense. Nuala breathes it into the mic raw and vulnerable, letting each word sit like a light wave before hitting your chest. For anyone who has ever felt drowned out by the world, this song is a hand extended through the noise, one that offers both comfort and courage.
What makes “Power” so compelling is not just its melodic sheen or crisp modern production, though both are on display here, as is the emotional heft of the words. Discussing her transition from uncertainty to ownership, Nuala weaves each line with the kind of reflective honesty that can only come from someone who has sat in the storm and walked out of the other side. You can sense the ache of history in her timing but also the heat of someone who has resolved, once and for all, to take back her story.
Lines that suggest inner struggles and outer pressures mirror ours. “Power” is the sort of song that doesn’t purport to have the answers but reminds you that you already possess them. With “Power,” Nuala is participating in something so universal, using her art not just as a mechanism to heal herself but to ignite healing in others. This is also more enjoyable in an age when much music seeks the next viral trend, and Nuala has chosen authenticity, and it shows.
