The band describe their sound as a hat-tip to late 70s girl groups, and their catalogue is full of dreamy harmonies, catchy hooks and uptempo grooves. “We had a clear vision for the type of music we wanted to make in this project from the start”, the band say. “The name Say She She is a silent nod to Nile Rodgers (a homophone in French; ‘c’est Chi-Chi’ or ‘it’s CHIC’) – Nile is an undeniably prolific writer and producer and no matter what he touches, his music makes listeners dance and feel uplifted. That is what we always wanted to emulate and create in our own way with Say She She.”

“We also always wanted to be free of genre and not defined by one label. Our dream is that one day you can find a Say She She record in every corner and crate in the records shop. A song for different moods that reflect the multifaceted nature of us as women.”

Indeed ‘Prism’ has garnered praise from critics and listeners alike for its eclectic sound, with its songs originating from piano-centred sessions and demos then laid down to tape, giving it its rich, analogue sound.

Our best melodies are a collaborative effort and usually the lyrics fall out of us after lengthy discussions and sharing of stories – we each are able to channel our shared experiences so what arises is an amalgamation of our collective emotions.”

Since the end of lockdown restrictions, the trio have been intent on further evolving their sound. “We were itching to get out of our apartments and make music with our friends again so we approached things a bit differently once we were able to travel”, say the band. “Instead of writing a song individually in front of the piano and bringing it to the group we wanted to feel the energy of a rhythm section while writing, so we started writing songs from scratch with our band in the room. That change instantly made a difference for us and inspired a new creative energy that allowed us to further define our sound…we were really able to lean into the more uptempo grooves with a rhythm section present.”
