Every Us, a three-person collective based in Brooklyn, opens the door to a warm and uplifting musical community with its debut EP, "Some Kind of We." This five-track, 18-minute collection stitches together threads of indie, soul, R&B, jazz, folk, and electronic music into a seamless experience that feels both intimate and expansive. "Some Kind of We" is a celebration of connection, creativity, and the joy inherent in collaborative art.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Ryan Jones, Every Us has developed a unique kinship that runs throughout the EP, working with vocalists Olivia Reid, Chynna Sherrod, Connor Sandstrom, and Amara. The songwriting contributions of Jones, Reid, and Charlie Klarsfield, whose past collaborators include Clean Bandit and Branchez, are bright alongside Jones' production and Klarsfield's direction, making the collection as emotionally laden and pleasant.
From the instantly danceable grooves of "Calvalry" to the fluid energy of "The Motion," the EP provides moments of euphoria and reflection. Every beat is meticulously mixed and mastered by Ian Kimmel, whose credits include BTS and Anderson. Paak, Mary J. Blige, and Soular to ensure the production quality matches the EP's emotional resonance.
Each track is a statement of music's communal power, calling forth an impulse to connect with something bigger while also creating personal moments of joy. "Some Kind of We" is an experience between listeners and treaters, one song worth replaying over and over, with messages exchanged.
