Say She She 由 Piya Malik、Sabrina Mileo Cunningham 以及 Nya Gazelle Brown 組成,分別來自不同城市的三位女性在紐約相遇,透過當地音樂場景而相識,一個命中註定般的友誼;他們的音樂被 The Guardian (衛報) 形容為「充滿了早期 80 年代紐約 wonky 系列的 post-disco 精神」。
在去年的首張專輯《Prism》發行後短短不到一年的時間,Say She She 就交出了一張迷人的突破性新作《Silver》,Soul、R&B、disco 與 funk 在他們的音樂中融化成了一個獨特的風味;《Silver》全程類比錄製,歌曲也是在錄音室中即時的編寫完成,不僅有著非常適合 Say She She 歌聲的溫暖質感,也完整的捕捉到三人集體創作的化學反應與創意。
順帶一提,《Silver》Mastered 自 JJ Golden 的 Golden Mastering,傷心欲絕的《無名氏敬上》也是在這。
Say She She, the soulful female-led trio, stand rock solid on their discodelic duty with their boundary breaking sophomore album Silver.
The three strong voices of Piya Malik (El Michels Affair staple feature, and former backing singer for Chicano Batman), Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown front the band. Following the NYC siren song, the trio was pulled from their respective cities — Piya from London, Nya from DC, and Sabrina from NYC — to Manhattan downtown dance floors, through the Lower East Side floorboards, and up to the rooftops of Harlem, where their friendship was formed on one momentous, kismet eve.
Silver was entirely written and recorded live to tape at Killion Sound studio in North Hollywood earlier this year and produced by Sergio Rios (of Orgone). While these analog recording techniques help root Say She She sound in a bedrock of tonal warmth that only tape can achieve, it is also their process of cutting the track in the moment and capturing the magic of communal creativity that has seen their sound described as “a glorious overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation” (MOJO) and “infused with the wonky post-disco spirit of early 80s NYC” (The Guardian). Musical inspirations include Rotary Connection, Asha Puthli, Liquid Liquid, Grace Jones and Tom Tom Club.
Ultimately, Silver oozes with quirk and adventure and embraces the multifaceted nature of what it means to be a modern femme. Say She She fully embrace their role as beauticians, actively reminding people of the inherent beauty in the world. They skillfully employ double entendres and humor to encourage open dialogue and fearlessly address important matters that demand attention.
