philly-based hip-soul artist masie blu delivers futuristic vibes

April 7, 2017

The best lyrics read like a diary and sound like a confrontation. A confrontation of self and a confrontation of the people and situations we somehow found ourselves with and in. 18-year-old Philly-based future synth-soul artist Masie Blu captures this perfectly on her track “Malachite”, a track about a relationship that’s run off the rails, leaving you standing in it’s wake asking yourself, “wut? okay bye?”. But no whining or game-playing here, just “I’m just saying that I haven’t heard from you/I have nothing to lose/I will keep calling you/my heart has nothing to prove/I’ll be sending love your way”. Like, same, girl. Same.
