17AD finds beauty and renewal in the immersive ‘WATER’

Composer and songwriter 17AD creates a beautifully absorbing escape on ‘WATER’, an ambitious new single that pushes his cinematic ambient sound into increasingly evocative territory.

A luminous synth motif provides the track's heartbeat, surrounded by warm pads, sweeping strings and beautifully crisp percussion. Above it all, Kelina Mary Bruce's delicate, near-whispered vocals drift through the arrangement, giving ‘WATER’ an almost weightless quality.

Written and composed by Abez David, AKA 17AD, with Nithin Martian handling programming and arrangement, the single explores water as a source of healing, renewal and emotional clarity. Its atmospheric production mirrors that idea wonderfully, gradually washing over the listener rather than demanding attention.

Mixed and mastered by Spatial Mastering, ‘WATER’ embraces elements of New Age music and cinematic ambience while continuing 17AD's fascination with immersive sound design.

The release follows April's ‘HALF OF ME’, but feels like another significant creative leap. Poetic, tranquil and rich with tiny production details, ‘WATER’ is the kind of track that creates its own environment around you, a serene and beautifully realised addition to 17AD's growing catalogue.
