Rasha Jay Brings Rock Back to the Forefront With Her Latest Single “SAY”

If you’ve been craving a rock revival that's as real as it is electric, look no further than Rasha Jay's new single, SAY. After a three-year hiatus from releasing music, the Montclair-based singer-songwriter is back and she ain't playing around She made this track with co-producers No New Lovers, guitarist Liza Light, and drummer Huan Walker to craft a song that's anthemic yet emotional. SAY was dropped on February 28, and it's a song that has been designed for when words aren't enough but the music speaks volumes.

SAY is a song that was born of a deeply personal experience, brought into existence by a distressing phone call from a friend in crisis. Rather than letting the heaviness of the moment settle in silence, Rasha Jay turned it into something powerful, infusing SAY with the kind of high-voltage energy that demands action. “It raises the heart rate, and that was the intention,” she says. The outcome? A song that pulsates with driving drums, searing guitar, and a vocal performance that doesn't just tell a story—it demands to be heard.

SAY feels like a return to form, evoking the heavy melodic rock that characterized Rasha Jay's High Dive days. But don't get it wrong—this is not a recycling exercise in old sounds. The track is a risk-taking step forward, and she's showing that she's not just going back to her roots but replanting them with a new sense of purpose. Featuring live instrumentation from Walker and Light that brings organic grit to the production, SAY is less a song than it is an experience, a cathartic burst of defiance and determination.

The journey doesn’t stop at the studio. On March 19, Baltimore’s The Woodshed at Nate’s Place will be the first to witness SAY live. It's an apt venue for a song that's about the moment, and for Rasha Jay, it's a homecoming celebration. If SAY is anything to go by, this isn't a comeback—it's a rebirth. And if there is one thing she wants you to take away from it, it is this: "Write the song. Do the thing. Let it go."
