Shahar Regev Shares Meditative Chamber Folk Piece 'Water'

Composer, cellist, and vocalist Shahar Regev offers a first glimpse into her upcoming album Paradigm with the quiet, reflective single 'Water'. Setting lines from a poem by Hilda Conkling to music, the track links indie folk songwriting with modern chamber traditions. Recorded live in a New York studio alongside the Noise Catalogue Ensemble, the arrangement relies on dynamic interplay between warm vocal lines, cello, violin, and understated acoustic percussion.

Rather than leaning on studio production, the piece captures the natural breath and acoustics of musicians performing in the same room. Regev's classical background shows through in the subtle string phrasing, grounding the song in an unhurried, peaceful atmosphere that feels both direct and intimate.
