Nadine Makalew Explores Long-Distance Relationship Woes in New Single 'The Other Side'

Jakarta-based singer-songwriter Nadine Makalew delivers a soul-stirring anthem with 'The Other Side,' a poignant exploration of love and loss in her upcoming debut album 'Time Traveller.'

Nadine Makalew, an Indonesian singer-songwriter renowned for her emotive vocal style and rich, soulful music, has released "The Other Side," the lead single from her highly anticipated debut album, "Time Traveller." Released on March 15, 2024, this song is a heartfelt anthem for anyone who has endured the ups and downs of a long-distance relationship that turns sour.


"The Other Side" artfully combines pop melodies, R&B electronic beats, and acoustic instrumentation, creating a vibrant yet nostalgic soundscape. The track reflects Makalew's personal journey and artistic evolution, influenced by her classical piano training and her years of musical exploration in Europe, including songwriting studies at Macromedia University of Applied Sciences in Freiburg, Germany.


"The Other Side" is a beautiful exploration of love. The mix of R&B and Pop ballad melodies along with the enhanced intimacy of strings lure listeners into a sense of comfort and vulnerability right in time for the vocals to hit the soul. A soft and skillful vocal performance portrays the lyrics perfectly. It's mixed well, making every layer stand out in their own right. It's one of those songs that you can relax to, possibly cry to, and mainly, you can feel. So, go ahead and feel.
