New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Say She She will release their full length debut - Prism - on October 7 (Karma Chief Records). The album injects funk and pop with a heavy dose of dance and disco beats and a wide range of inspirations: Indian legend Asha Puthli,
David Macuso's loft parties, Turkish funk, Rotary Club, Stax soul groups and more, carving their own corner and coining their own crate of Discodelic Soul. On Prism, this dazzling harmonizing trio of frontwomen are joined by a roaring roster of musicians that includes members of The Dap-Kings, The Extraordinaires, The Shacks, Twin Shadow and Chicano Batman.
Today's new single, "Pink Roses," is the latest taste of Prism and they've announced a West Coast tour for November to go along with the news. "Pink Roses," produced by Chicano Batman frontman Bardo Martinez, starts with a driving post-punk disco beat before the three frontwomen of Say She She - Piya Malik, Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya
Gazelle Brown - sing about cosmic love in perfect unison. Written in remembrance of Sabrina's mother on the anniversary of her passing, the song is sweet, elegant and designed to lift the spirits, just like her mother's favorite flowers.
