Masego just delivered a buttery smooth new track, "Breathe," which just so happens to contain a Ne-Yo interpolation.

Masego has become a mainstay in the world of R&B and Soul. Fans are always looking forward to new music, and recently, he delivered with his new single, "Breathe." This is a gorgeous track that showcases Masego's phenomenal singing ability. He engages in some interesting tropes throughout the song, and even offers an interpolation of Ne-Yo's "Closer" on the post-chorus. It's a catchy track bolstered by a layered instrumental that complements the singer's voice. Hopefully, an album is on the horizon.

Quotable Lyrics from Breathe

Don't make an ass of yourself, just be without assumptions
We can be above service, skip to the meat, ask questions
I ain't got no book for you to read, film for you to see
Way beneath the scars, I got more heart than you beliеve
