Emerging from the musical melting pot of New York City, Say She She is an all-female trio with designs on moving hips and reclaiming male-dominated musical spaces. Band members Piya Malik (a Londoner) and Sabrina Mileo Cunningham (a native New Yorker) found themselves living in the same building on the Lower East Side and unwittingly began to serenade each other through the floorboards. Once they had connected, they asked long-time friend Nya Gazelle Brown to become the third part of their harmonies and the band was complete.
Their debut single “Forget Me Not” is a swooning dream of a song with catchy hooks, beautiful harmonies and a groove that ticks all the boxes. There are elements of Charles Stepney’s work with Rotary Connection, a tip of the hat to the disco-soul of Chic and Donna Summer, and lyrics that act as a siren’s call to dismantle male dominance. With the stellar backing of some of New York’s finest musicians, it is a glorious concoction that showcases the group’s impeccable vocals and a baggy, blissful track that could go for days.
The single arrives ahead of their debut album that was recorded during the pandemic on old tape machines in their friend’s basements. That should see the light of day this summer via Colemine/Karma Chief Records, so in the meantime, enjoy the official video for “Forget Me Not.” below.
