Masego is back. The Grammy-nominated artist has released his sophomore album, Masego, via EQT Recordings/Capitol Records. 

The featureless album consists of 14 tracks, including the previously shared “You Never Visit Me,” “Two Sides (I’m So Gemini)” and “Say You Want Me.” The latter song features backing vocals from Ambré, Destin Conrad and Ari PenSmith.

Regarding his new album, Masego Says: “I’m very thankful of the journey. This went from a hobby to a job. I was getting all the things that they say that you’re supposed to be fulfilled by and I wasn’t fulfilled by it. I had to do a re-evaluation of a lot of things. I said, ‘I can’t make this what I imagined it to be. So I cannot remain here. I need to move.’”
