Masego Explains How He Built 'Tadow' and Other Songs | Critical Breakthroughs | Pitchfork
Музыка
Masego sits down with Pitchfork and closely examines his creative process. Masego breaks down some of his biggest tracks, explaining how The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air influenced "Tadow," and how his experience working at Panda Express impacted the sounds that make up "Navajo."
Masego recently released “Passport,” the latest offering from his upcoming project: a concept EP and his most refreshing interpretation of traphousejazz yet, out later this year via EQT Recordings and Capitol Records.
Featuring:
Tadow ft. FKJ
Navajo
I DO EVERYTHING!
Veg Out (Wasting Thyme)
Melanin Man - BRASSTRACKS (ft. Masego)
Black Love
Good & Plenty - Alex Isley, Masego
Love Be Like (Medasin Remix)

You must not know that it's his choice, he says in his music he doesn't wanna be famous. If he sold his soul he'd be HUGE but it ain't that typa party thank God.
I can honestly listen to him break his stuff down all day
Such a handsome, talented man. A whole vibe.

Yessss....Kings Rant and Queen Tings. I have to listen to African Lady
His explanation of Tadow is exactly how I perceive music as a whole. An artists that drops consistently lives in the studio but the artists that drops rarely knows that music takes time and you must experience life outside of music to be able to create great music.
That "ooh girl, let me in" is my favorite thing in my favorite Masego joint.
He’s goated
This man makes the best music. The first time I saw him perform my life changed

I can’t even tell you how I found out about Masego but since I’ve started listening to him I’ve never stopped. He draws you in with his music. It’s so smooth. The Melodie’s. His voice. The beat. Idk how he does it but man it’s beautifully wonderful.
i have been blessed by the youtube recommendation gods
This is true artistry and I’m glad it’s making a comeback
I'm in love with every single thing this man does. The day i saw him on COLORS marked my life.
Found my new prince. His talent reminds me of prince. A musical genius just like him.
So clean so fine so talented. Period.
I randomly walked into a smallish bar Masego was playing and it changed my life. He even pointed me out and rapped a out me for a bit. Loved the show.
Yowwww I keep telling my friends Masego voice is an instrument. Its more of an instrument than a singer. Feels good to hear him confirm it.
This is the most chilled and relaxed I've ever seen him . So beautiful and calming to watch at 2:40 in the morning. 😙💕

Hadn’t heard of him, but have listened to both albums on repeat and loving them!
Anybody who tucks their braids underneath their glasses is going to be successful.
he’s so creative!!! love hearing him explain his process.
This just put me on to melanin man! That song is fire!
thanks you Pitchfork for making a video with Masego - this was simply great
This is the calmest I've ever seen him lol. So interesting hearing about his process, his concert last year in Bristol was one of the best I've ever been to 💫
" It's just about collecting different things in your spirit and then they release when it's time to" I live my life for and like this. Under no form of art although, but i feel thankful he phrased it that way because only an artist can do that.
AMAZING. This is the content we need!!!!! Love this breakdown. GENIUS music being made by a genius artist. Respect Sego!!
I enjoyed hearing his creative process and his inspiration!
Some great classics of masego! 4 years ago, I had his song reposted on my soundcloud and didn't know who he was until a friend told me about his show in London a year later
Such a thoughtful and well put together video thank you
🎷 living legend, his music is sublime ✨
He’s amazing to see in person
Thanks, fir you're sharing your vibes inspiration, and wisdom Masego's music is classical and suitable for all age groups to hear. sending universal peace love and blessing.
Looks like he's doing well. Well done bro, your music keeps me alive
He's handsome🥰🥺
Music makes me high.....good and plenty takes me there. The collab with Alex Isley is just amazing
I’m so glad he’s getting recognized even though he doesn’t want to be famous 😭🤎
I swear his music jus does something to my soul 🥰🎶🎺🥁🎵🎼🎼
Great interview. I love Masego!
lovin' this, thanks for sharing 🙌🏾

beautiful piece of art music , video is awesome , timeless
I love this man! 😩❤️
This is amazing!!
It's the talent for me 😭❤️
I love his music so much
Musically brilliant and fine 😩😭
He’s an amazing producer. His own music is amazing and I love it, but he could definitely elevate other artists on another level.
he's really good. especially moving and being different.
I have cannonball stone series and a Jupiter... For some reason I love my Jupiter, it hits different when pushed!!! 👍
I can't get enough
gosh so in luvvv
Is there a little bit of the "careless whisper" riff in "Black Love"? Just like a few notes sound similar
I can’t believe he’s wearing a Rhythm Nation 1814 jacket. Respect!!!
Brahhh this has been my ring tone all yeah. A dance a little wvery time before i answer my phone
I love your Music !
