Trans-Atlantic trio Say She She have returned with “Trouble,” the third single from their forthcoming debut album Prism, due September 23rd courtesy of Karma Chief Records, a division of Colemine Records. Comprised of Londoner Piya Malik, New Yorker Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and DC native Nya Gazelle Brown, the group trades in a winning combination of loose funk grooves, crystalline vocal assuredness and backing courtesy of some of New York’s finest soul musicians.
Co-produced by touring members of the Daptone label, “Trouble” is heavily redolent of early 1970s soul music with a modern sheen of production. Previous singles “Forget Me Not” and “Blow My Mind” earned much radio support from the likes of Worldwide FM and 6 Music and this looks likely to be repeated with this fine slice of soulful pop music, wherein the group reflect on reaching the end of a relationship’s life span whilst being wary of getting drawn back into the havoc it may wreak.
With the debut album on its way this summer, the song marks a hat-trick of singles that have demonstrated Say She She’s vocal prowess and a winning combination of disparate influences to create something roughly akin to Rotary Connection—something to be proud of in this Summer Of Stepney.
