“This Is As Authentic As It Gets” Masego Interviewed
Masego discusses his new 16-track album, ‘Fix Your Face’, describing it as his most vulnerable and authentic work to date. The Jamaican-American musician says the record moves beyond the bravado and charisma often associated with R&B, using open-hearted songwriting across jazz, soul and R&B to reveal more of his personal perspective.
He says the album’s title echoes phrases many Black people have heard meaning to compose oneself, while its cover reflects comfort, family elders and the stories carried in people’s hands. Masego’s recent interest in history, museums and understanding how society developed has also influenced his outlook; the profile places this new chapter alongside his multi-instrumental work, 2017 hit ‘Tadow’, Grammy nomination and more than three billion streams.
- Masego presents ‘Fix Your Face’ as a vulnerable new artistic chapter.
- The 16-track album blends jazz, R&B and soul.
- Its title and artwork draw on Black cultural and family imagery.
