NTHALE‘s (which I believe is pronounced “Nathalie”) “Hiding Away,” produced by Arian Dominiak, is a track that doesn’t just play; it lingers in the room like a shadow, reflecting a mood that’s both introspective and haunting. Standing independently it emerges as a unique piece in the indie pop scene. It floats through corridors of memory and time,led by NTHALE‘s voice, which harmonizes with the digital piano and synth strings.
It starts with lines that are simple yet loaded with meaning: “Sitting in my bed / time stands still in here/ Blurring pictures fade in front of my eyes” This opening sets the stage for a song that’s all about the moments that shape us. The clock’s ticking in the background is a subtle yet powerful reminder of the relentless march of time, a theme that NTHALE weaves throughout the track.
The energy here is calming, like a serene night spent reminiscing about what’s been and imagining what’s to come. NTHALE‘s voice, a delicate soprano, is both moody and deep in thought, yet it carries a softness that makes the lyrics hit close to home. “I´m hiding away from my thoughts, hiding away from my mind,” she confesses, a line that sinks in with anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their own mind.
There’s no grand entrance or exit in “Hiding Away“; it’s a song that exists in a constant state of flow, revealing new layers with each listen. It’s a track that doesn’t need to shout to be heard; its power lies in its subtlety and the quiet truth it speaks about the human condition. NTHALE, with this song, proves that sometimes the most profound statements are made in whispers, not shouts.
