Masego Says His New Album Fix Your Face Grew Out of Tragedy as the Grammy-Nominated Singer Opens up About the Creative Process Behind His Third Studio Release
NEW YORK, NY — Grammy-nominated singer and multi-instrumentalist Masego says his third studio album, Fix Your Face, was shaped in part by tragedy. In a conversation with ABC News’ Linsey Davis, he talked about the emotional current running through the project and the creative choices that helped bring it together.
The interview places Masego’s new music in the middle of a personal artistic moment, with the artist reflecting on what pushed him to make the record and how that experience influenced the sound. For fans who have followed his genre-blending style, the release adds another chapter to a catalog built around musical range and experimentation.
How Masego framed the record
Masego did not present Fix Your Face as just another album cycle. Instead, he described it as a project that came from difficult life experience, suggesting that the music was built from a more complicated place than simple studio inspiration.
That framing matters because it gives listeners a way to hear the record before they even press play. When an artist ties an album to loss or hardship, the songs often land differently, and that appears to be part of what Masego wanted to share while discussing the making of his third studio release.
His appearance on ABC News also signals how music interviews have become part of a broader conversation about artistry and mental space. Rather than focusing only on promotion, the discussion centered on process, emotional weight and the realities behind a polished final product.
A closer look at Masego’s path
Masego has built a reputation as both a singer and a multi-instrumentalist, a combination that has helped define his place in contemporary music. That skill set often gives his work a layered feel, and it is part of why listeners tend to approach each release expecting something musically adventurous.
Fix Your Face continues that trajectory as his third studio album, a marker that shows how far he has moved into a sustained body of recorded work. The new project arrives with the added weight of his comments about tragedy, which gives the album a personal backstory beyond its track list.
For an artist with a Grammy nomination already attached to his name, each release also carries a certain level of expectation. This one arrives with a narrative that may invite fans to listen more closely for the emotions Masego says helped shape it.
What fans should watch next
The conversation with Linsey Davis did not lay out a full promotional roadmap, but it did make clear that Fix Your Face is the album Masego wants to talk about now. That puts the focus on the music itself and on how he plans to present it to listeners in the months ahead.
Fans following the rollout will likely be watching for more interviews, performances and details about how the album’s themes connect across the full project. For now, the standout point is simple: Masego says this record was not only made in the studio, but also shaped by a difficult period that left a mark on the finished work.
