This week, we’re getting down with the Disco beats of Say She She with their new album Cut & Rewind.

Album of the Week — Say She She – Cut & Rewind 

From our review by Cathy Brown.

Ultimately, Cut & Rewind is more than a revival; it is a reclamation of disco and its radical roots. Say She She have created their most fully realised work to date, one that insists music can be joyous and political, nostalgic and forward-looking, body-moving and thought-provoking all at once. It’s an album with a message, but it never sacrifices the groove.
