It&#8217;s been captivating to witness their evolution, beginning as a relatively unknown three-piece under the temporary name &#8220;<strong>needanamebro<\/strong>.&#8221; However, the potential was always evident. Namely because the talented British trio, <strong>Ysabelle Salvanera, Amelia Onuorah<\/strong>, and <strong>Madeleine Haynes<\/strong>\u2014has diligently carved out their unique identity, refining their sound, artistic vision, and style. Moreover, with the adoption of their official name, Say Now, these dynamic ladies have unleashed a series of electrifying tracks that unmistakably showcase a bold and spirited lyrical pop style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all the group continues to break new ground. It is their raw and unapologetic lyricism that enables them to address issues often avoided by their girl band predecessors. Picking up where the <strong>Spice Girls<\/strong>&#8216; empowering messages left off, these girls are elevating feminist power to new heights. Importantly, these girls are unafraid to speak their minds, as evidenced by their bold tracks &#8220;<strong>Bitch Get Out My Car<\/strong>,&#8221; &#8220;<strong>Trouble<\/strong>,&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>Makeup Sex<\/strong>,&#8221; all released this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/makeup-sex\/1773823981?i=1773823982&#038;itscg=30200&#038;itsct=music_box_badge&#038;ls=1&#038;app=music&#038;mttnsubad=1773823982\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/toolbox.marketingtools.apple.com\/api\/v2\/badges\/listen-on-apple-music\/standard-white\/en-us\" alt=\"Listen on Apple Music\" style=\"width: 367px; height: 82px; vertical-align: middle; object-fit: contain;\" \/><\/a>    \n\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CWVQf9O196U?si=J5Nek0SSrhf5nVL5\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the newly released track &#8220;<strong>Makeup Sex<\/strong>&#8221; marks a pivotal moment for Say Now. This is namely because it&#8217;s the first time I&#8217;ve genuinely felt this band has the potential to redefine the girl band legacy. Over the past year, the ladies have been making waves, securing prominent spots at major festivals and capturing attention everywhere. Likewise their recent win of the <strong>Samsung Rising Star<\/strong> award at <strong>Glamour&#8217;s Women of the Year awards <\/strong>has only heightened expectations. And now Say Now is ready to win over their critics and showcase their undeniable talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say Now is truly on point with &#8220;<strong>Makeup Sex<\/strong>.&#8221; Their soulful pop sound resonates, and the candid topics they explore are conversations many would share with their closest friends. While most of the rising girl pop stars enjoying success right now hail from the USA, it&#8217;s time for the UK to step up its game. Say Now is clearly evolving in an exciting direction. And as we look ahead to 2024, they are definitely newcomers to keep an eye on. Their music is dynamic and hasn&#8217;t confined itself to a single genre, which adds to their appeal. I&#8217;m eager to see how their journey unfolds in 2024.
