With the summer months quickly coming up around the corner, Masego is doing his part to set the vibe on his self-titled album. The project arrived this New Music Friday (March 3), and consists of 14 featureless tracks. Among them are previously released singles like "You Never Visit Me," "Say You Want Me," and "Two Sides (I'm So Gemini)."

Of the 11 newer arrivals on the tracklist, one title has already emerged as an obvious fan favourite – "What You Wanna Try." Earning nearly 100K streams on Spotify alone in its first weekend out, the groovy tune was produced by Dan Foster, Louie Lastic, and Masego himself. "I'm in Detroit with Khadijah / Fighting feelings, rollin' weed, yeah," he chiefly sets the scene as the first verse begins.

"Is you tryna stay on the ride? / Or is you tryna, is you tryna leave the vibe?" the "Tadow" hitmaker later asks on the chorus. "Is you tryna fall for the night? Or is you tryna, is tryna fall for life? / City full of pеople, you got options, right? / Baskin' Robins, baby, what you wanna try?" he cleverly continues, name-dropping the beloved ice creamery while trying to discern his love interest's preferences.

Now that Masego has finally landed, the recording artist will have plenty of new arrivals to perform for fans on his upcoming tour. Later this month, the 29-year-old will be kicking things of in Las Vegas before moving on to stages in San Francisco, Vancouver, Detroit, Toronto, New York, and more. His final stop will be in Los Angeles at the end of April before heading overseas to sing at Brixton's Cross the Tracks Festival in May.

Quotable Lyrics:

Is you tryna fall for the night?
Or is you tryna, is tryna fall for life?
City full of pеople, you got options, right?
Baskin' Robins, baby, what you wanna try?
