Just last week Masego shared his latest single “Big Girls,” a thumping, jazzy celebration of curvy Black bodies. The track features additional vocals from Ivana of R&B duo VanJess.
Now, the singer has shared a hazy, neon-hued video for the single, featuring THJ Band, and ESSENCE has the exclusive.
“Big Girls” was inspired by women at a party in Nairobi, “There was a group of women that were the life of the party—I’m talkin’ Lizzo energy. I asked someone who they were and they told me ‘That’s the Big Girls Crew.’ So I made a song about this party I went to on the great continent and just painted a scene of this cool event, called it the Cake Club, Big Girls get in free.”
The single comes a year after Masego’s debut album Lady, Lady, which features collaborations with SiR, Tiffany Gouché, De’Wayne Jackson and FKJ.
