Cut & Rewind by Say She She

Cut & Rewind, the third album from Brooklyn disco-funk trio Say She She, came out on 3 October 2025 on the drink sum wtr label, and it's a glittering, clear-eyed record with something on its mind. Singers Piya Malik, Nya Brown and Sabrina Cunningham wrote it in the gaps between their session jobs singing for other artists, which they say gave the songs a sense of urgency, and members of Orgone lay down the grooves.

The harmonies float, the basslines strut, and the whole thing owes a debt to Nile Rodgers and Chic, the heroes they named themselves after and whose public support helped inspire the record. But the words are pointed: "Disco Life" takes on the 1979 Disco Demolition Night, and much of the rest tackles modern politics and class. The title track went out as a single in June 2025, and The New Yorker praised how the album ties late-1970s disco to the fights of the 2020s.
