Good Day Noir Family,
Water Street’s single Everest begins with a deep, smooth bass line that sets a laid-back yet sophisticated tone.

It’s not a jarring start, but rather a slow, purposeful buildup as the rest of the instruments gradually fade in.
This subtle introduction paves the way for a song that feels carefully constructed, allowing each layer of sound to emerge naturally, with a sense of elegance.
The vocal performance is where things really take off. The singer weaves a melody that is intricate and soothing, reminiscent of iconic voices like Seal mixed with the more expansive musicality of Genesis.
There’s a calmness to the way the voice is delivered—yet it’s far from passive. Each note is rich, measured, and thoughtful, pulling you deeper into the atmosphere of the track.
As the song unfolds, the instrumental mix reveals a rich, textured blend of jazz, soul, and pop influences.
The rhythm section carries a groovy soul foundation, but the chord progressions and instrumental solos are nothing short of complex, drawing on jazz’s improvisational energy and pop’s melodic accessibility.
There are also echoes of the Dave Matthews Band, with the subtle yet intricate guitar work and the ability to build emotional layers through dynamic shifts.
It’s hard not to be struck by how tightly everything fits together. The band’s technical ability is evident throughout Everest, but it’s never showy or over-the-top.
Instead, it’s a perfect balance of craftsmanship and emotional resonance. It’s clear that Water Street is a band that values precision and depth, with each part of the song—whether it’s the bass groove, the sparkling guitar riffs, or the layers of atmospheric keyboards—carefully placed to complement the overall vibe.
There’s something undeniably cinematic about this track, too. Listening to Everest conjures up images of an early autumn morning in New York, with the crisp air and the energy of the city starting to rise.
The song has a reflective quality, yet it feels alive and full of possibility, much like that quiet yet vibrant time of day. The progression feels like a journey, one that takes you higher as the song moves forward, echoing the theme suggested by the title “Everest.”
Water Street shows an exceptional ability to blend genres, combining jazz, soul, and rock into something deeply moving and technically impressive.

“This song captures that feeling of “damn, this really isn’t working out for me is it?” The culmination of questions you hate yourself for asking, and the answers you find before you ever actually ask those tough questions, are the big themes of this song. I think everyone will have their own personal experience to relate to this song with, and I encourage late-night brooding and romanticization of melancholic solitude while listening..”
Inspired by the northwest hills of NJ in the shadow of the Appalachian Ridge, Water Street creates a new version Indie-Americana, mixing soulful acoustic melodies with rugged rock and roll bursts, enticing sax riffs, and a driving rhythm section with some hints of funk which combine to create a uniquely new, Pop/Americana/Roots sound.
