With Say It Right, Tiffy Vera delivers a striking homage to old school house, while infusing the track with her unmistakable touch of innovation and groove. Known for blending disco’s soulful pulse with the timeless energy of house, the New York City–born and Asuncion-raised producer once again demonstrates her ability to create music that resonates both on the dancefloor and in the mind of the listener.
From the very first beat, Say It Right establishes a rhythmic foundation rooted in classic house aesthetics. The kick is steady and commanding, balanced with crisp hi-hats and a rolling groove that instantly recalls the spirit of underground clubs in the early ’90s. Yet Vera ensures that the rhythmic structure never feels static; subtle shifts and syncopations inject a sense of dynamism that keeps the track flowing effortlessly.
The synth work further defines the atmosphere of the release. Warm, analog-inspired chords weave through the mix, creating a lush harmonic bed that evokes both nostalgia and freshness. Layers of textured stabs and airy pads intertwine, adding depth and dimension to the arrangement. The melodic phrasing is deliberate yet understated, allowing the rhythm to drive the track forward while maintaining a hypnotic tension.
Atmospherically, Say It Right thrives on its duality: it feels intimate, almost soulful, while also expansive enough to fill large dancefloors. The production manages to capture a sense of immediacy, immersing the listener in a soundscape that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. Vera’s craftsmanship is evident in the way each element sits perfectly within the mix, resulting in a polished, high-quality release.
We are delighted to host Say It Right on our webzine, as it stands as a testament to Tiffy Vera’s artistry and her ongoing contribution to the evolution of house music.
