Say She She, the soulful female-led trio, stand rock solid on discodelic duty with their boundary breaking sophomore album Silver.“

Tell them what you want – the time will soon be gone…”Like the lyrics from their latest single C’est si Bon (it’s so good!) that features on the album, the honeyed harmonising trio – consisting of 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 who front the band – stay true to their word. These women have something to say and they are not afraid to play with the medium. Leaning into their “boundary busting discodelic soul” (The Guardian),their flawless harmonies twist and writhe, capturing listeners hearts with buttery vocals, fat funky basslines, catchy hooks and up-tempo grooves.

Silver oozes with quirk and the album is an adventure through 16 songs – a double sided LP that opens with an incantation and ends with the title track that will lull you into a dreamscape with a locked groove of silver noise.

The needle drops on the powerful opening track “Reeling.” Released in January, it immediately made #1 in KCRW’s Top 10 charts. The track was playlisted at BBC’s 6 Music and the 45 (w/ “Don’t You Dare Stop”) charted in the UK. Opening with the fiery incantation to “Kick the door down, smash the ceiling, leave ‘em reeling!” the song sets the mood for a musical journey imbued with political grit, along with “Echo in The Chamber,” a song addressing gun control. It includes the tongue-in-cheek wit of “Entry Level,” which satirizes the condescending underestimation of a boss.

Silver span’s the depth of modern relationships – debunking fairytale myths and remembering how Romeo and Juliet actually ended up. “Never Say Never” toys with the irony of having so many choices that you can’t make any. Nevertheless the lyrics are indented with moments of romantic fantasy…because even the unblinded cynic still holds hope and wants to fall in love.“Are we ever together? Do we even remember nothing last forever…but we never say never.”

The album shakes it all up with a laissez-faire, celebratory attitude in full-on french discodelia of “C’est si Bon,” encouraging listeners to throw their hands up and concede to joy because its all going to be alright and peaks with heightened elements of operatic funk that shine through in tracks like “BleedingHeart” and “Questions.”

The LP further features their beloved debut single “Forget Me Not,” a gritty funk send-up inspired by NYC’s Guerilla Girls, which made a huge first splash. It was premiered by DJ Novena Carmel on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic and described by Jeremy Sole as “the funkiest sh*t I’ve heard in a while!”
