• Waterfalls in nature are about quiet contemplation and the soothing trickle of H2O over mossy rocks. However, James Hype's "Waterfalls" is more like standing under Niagara with a strobe light and a bassline pounding through your ribcage. Released squarely for the club and festival crowd, the track is an exercise in pure propulsion.
• James Hype pairs his beats here with the soaring vocals of Sam Harper. Where TLC once used the word "waterfalls" to warn against reckless choices, Harper flips the metaphor into a full-body embrace of good energy. She's not asking you to avoid waterfalls; She's begging the DJ to open the floodgates. She wants a torrent of energy, emotion and good vibes; a euphoric experience that washes over you.
• James Hype co-wrote and co-produced "Waterfalls" with Bobby Harvey, a DJ, producer, and songwriter from Canterbury, Kent, who specializes in electronic and house music.
