Every Us returns with “B-Train,” a warm, harmony-rich single akin to a handwritten note between friends shared on a late night subway ride. Based in indie-soul and led by texture rather than flash, the song is a salute to the people who become home when life feels unsteady. “B-Train” gets at the emotional push and pull of heartache tempered by laughter, shared experiences and a chosen family.
There is a lived-in aspect to the song that makes it immediately accessible. Each Us embraces memory and mood, crafting a sound reflective of the chaos and comfort of New York nights that is unvarnished, romantic and undeniably human. The emotional core of the song is in how it reframes love outside of the context of romance, singling out nonromantic friendships that carry you through your messiest chapters and bring you back to yourself when you’re not quite all right.
Driven by expressive vocals from Chynna Sherrod and molded by producer Ryan Jones, “B-Train” layers rich group harmonies over understated drums and sample-happy, nostalgic textures. Mixed and mastered by Ian Kimmel, the production is open but also rooted, leaving plenty of room for feeling to breathe without excess. It’s subtle, soulful and confident in its restraint, trusting us to come down to where the song resides.
Every Us is a Brooklyn indie-soul group that’s built their own world based on collaborating, storytelling, and building a community. “B-Train” is a powerful first taste of their debut EP, which will be released next year, and further solidifies their commitment to making music as a way to connect people through the shared human experience. It’s a way of remembering that often the deepest love stories are not romantic but communal and imperfect, and well worth returning to.
