(New York, NY): Genre-defiant singer, songwriter, producer & saxophonist Masego’s new album, 'Lady Lady,’ releasedSeptember 7th, debuted on the Billboard charts this week at #4on the Top New Artist Albums Consumption, #13 on the R&B Album Sales, #22 on the Heartseekers Albums, and #40 on the Top R&B/ Hip Hop Album Sales, an impressive feat for his first full length release.
Today, the 25-year-old jazzy heartthrob releases his music video for "Old Age" featuring frequent collaborator SiR and comedian Renny. It's a cheeky narrative of Masego’s day-dreams coming true with the mother of his girlfriend, an older woman.
The lyrics, "Old age don’t mean nothing to do me/ Wise man said, age ain’t nothing but a number," rings true as reality fades out and fantasy creeps in. The older women, clad in lingerie massages Masego and serves him a meaty chicken leg amidst sultry red lighting.
