Every Us Builds Community Through Music on Debut EP Some Kind of We
Brooklyn-based collective Every Us is redefining what it means to create music together. Their long-awaited debut EP, Some Kind of We, released March 20, 2026, is more than just a collection of songs—it’s a celebration of human connection, unity, and the joy of shared experiences. Led by singer-songwriter Ryan Jones, Every Us is built on the belief that music has always been, at its heart, a communal act. From orchestral ensembles to street folk, music was created to gather people, inspire movement, and evoke feeling. Some Kind of We embodies this philosophy, blending indie soul, R&B, jazz, folk, and electronic elements into a genre-fluid sound that feels alive, organic, and inclusive.
The EP opens with “Cavalry,” a high-energy track layered with bluesy piano, uplifting synths, and a beat that immediately invites movement. Jones’ vocals, paired with rich harmonies, deliver a chorus that feels like a pledge of togetherness: “put your whole love on my shoulders / ‘cause we’re all we got.” The song sets the tone for an EP rooted in intimacy and connection. On “B-Train,” Chynna Sherrod’s soulful lead vocals intertwine with Jones’ voice and a chorus of collaborators, creating a warm, textured soundscape. The track is a heartfelt ode to friendship and gratitude, highlighting the collective’s emphasis on shared human experience. The centerpiece, “Stuck With,” captures the EP’s communal spirit in its purest form. Laughter, conversation, and ambient background sounds give the track a lived-in feel, while guitar and harmonica weave a melody that feels both personal and universal. The chorus—“all of me is stuck with all of you / in this harmony that we seein’ through”—reflects Every Us’ ethos: music is a bond that keeps people together.
“The Motions” picks up the pace with a restless indie groove, urging listeners to break free from monotony and embrace the vastness of life. Connor Sandstrom’s guitar riffs add texture and urgency, bridging the warmth of earlier tracks with the introspection of the EP’s finale. The closing track, “Fake It,” is lush, layered, and emotionally resonant. With intricate harmonies and shifting instrumentation, it explores the tension between running from love and wanting to stay. The track leaves listeners with the EP’s central message: even in complexity, connection and shared humanity remain at the core of every experience. Some Kind of We is more than an EP—it’s an invitation. Every Us doesn’t ask listeners to admire from a distance; it asks them to pull up a chair, listen closely, and feel like part of something bigger. With contributions from over 200 collaborators across New York and Brooklyn, Every Us demonstrates that music is most powerful when it’s made together. This debut release is essential listening for anyone seeking music that uplifts, connects, and resonates on a deeply human level. In a world that often emphasizes individualism, Every Us reminds us that the true magic of music lies in the shared moments it creates.
