The Waters is a wonderful blend of pop, EDM, and 1990s R&B in a bold fashion. With an organic / electronic dichotomy between Breen’s vox and a carefully curated synth track, the effort is able to immediately draw listeners in. The rising and falling action of Patrick’s vocals recede a bit at the 2:30 mark to allow for the instruments to establish a new normal. The more traditional pop-rock style is gradually made ornate with a bit of electronic drapery. The Waters is an engrossing effort that sounds great as a pop track but contains just enough under the hood for those to deeply dig into.
