NYC punk-chic, discodelic band Say She She recently sat down with Ears of Maize to discuss the origins and development of their sound, the messages behind their songs and videos, and the music they are currently enjoying.
Tune in on Monday, January 26th at 4pm to hear their conversation before the group performs at August Hall in SF on Tuesday, January 27th.
There’s nothing more resonant than the human voice. It contains timbres and textures no other instrument can replicate, but most importantly, it’s immensely powerful: One voice can spark an uprising, but many voices in unison create a movement. Nya Gazelle Brown, Sabrina Cunningham, and Piya Malik, the three women who front Say She She, understand how to wield such power. They soar above irresistible grooves, locking together in gorgeous three-part harmonies that cleverly disguise the feeling of righteous rebellion permeating their music. Theirs is a multi-pronged call to action: Move your body, expand your mind, and recognize your strength.
Latest album, Cut & Rewind, is Say She She at their most vital, both outside of time and profoundly of the now. It urges us to stay present and attentive to the challenges we must endure, but offers a way to recharge our collective battery. It’s a shimmering, celebratory epic, equally suited for the dancefloor and the demonstration.
