“Cut & Rewind” by Say She She: A Disco-Funk Revival with a Message
Say She She’s New Album Sparks Dancefloors and Social Awareness
Emegypt is excited to spotlight our Album of the Week: “Cut & Rewind” by Say She She. Following their acclaimed disco-funk releases, “Prism” (2022) and “Silver” (2023), this Brooklyn-based trio—paying homage to Nile Rodgers—returns with a vibrant new album crafted for the dancefloor that seamlessly integrates a socially conscious narrative.
The Collaborators Behind the Magic
Nya Gazelle Brown, Sabrina Cunningham, and Piya Malik reunite with Orgone members Dan Hastie (keyboards), Sam Halterman (drums), Dale Jennings (bass), and Sergio Rios (guitar) at Killion Sound Studios in Los Angeles. Their recording sessions, characterized by spontaneity and live energy, ensure their music is both authentic and dynamic. The trio’s philosophy remains steadfast: “We never record anything that we can’t recreate live.”
Diverse Musical Influences Shine Through
Signed to the innovative New York label drink sum wtr, Say She She captivates listeners with their blend of silky harmonies, groovy basslines, and unpretentious yet polished arrangements. The album fluidly transitions from neo-soul tracks like the feminist anthem “Under The Sun” and R&B-centric “Possibilities” and “Take It All,” to the intense waves of psych-funk in “She Who Dares.”
Highlights from the Album
- “Under The Sun” – A powerful feminist ode with a classic neo-soul feel.
- “Possibilities” – R&B at its finest, spotlighting the trio’s vocal prowess.
- “Disco Life” – A nostalgic nod to the iconic ‘Disco Demolition Night’ event of 1979.
Say She She delivers a statement-making experience that invigorates dancefloors and resonates with meaningful messages.
