His 30-minute set, which included originals and a praise break to sing \u201cTurning Around for Me\u201d by VaShawn Mitchell, left the room swooning. Don\u2019t let our brevity here confuse you, though \u2014 his modest discography, including his newly-released debut record, \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/36KvnNSPeyCHUrAQVpgwwN\">For All the Right Reasons<\/a>,\u201d is packed with buzz-worthy tracks. And his set on Tuesday made clear he\u2019s an artist to keep an eye on. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/@madisonfromdallas-5-e1785977207682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40702341\"\/>Contemporary R&amp;B artist Lekan opened the show with cuts from his debut record, which dropped earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Masego walked onto <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/music\/best-music-venues-in-dallas-texas-22638382\/\">the South Side Ballroom stage<\/a> to a setup draped in white curtains similar to old Hollywood aesthetics. Wearing all black, he and his band were already locked in with high energy on the first song, \u201cWonderwoman,\u201d from his new album, \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/181ArQxGlKkfBQhSqB01ee\">Fix Your Face<\/a>,\u201d an introspective 16-track record released last month. He followed that up with \u201cLimerence\u201d and then his Kirk Franklin-inspired cut \u201cHeaven,\u201d which had the crowd singing the chorus back to him every time it came around. He then worked a production setup he had onstage, pulling the song\u2019s standout sounds out of the mix for an atmospheric rendition.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the Music newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood and Plenty,\u201d the Alex Isley collaboration he appears on with Jack Dine, set a new tone as the stage was washed with lavender lighting. He kicked the song off rocking the mic side to side before grabbing a saxophone to the crowd\u2019s delight. Next up, \u201cSomeone\u201d made room for a guitar solo as Masego gave shine to a member of his backing band.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake some noise for musicianship. Make some noise for this black man playing an instrument,\u201d he told the crowd.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/@madisonfromdallas-31-e1785977329770.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40702343\"\/>The \u201cCome Thru\u201d singer\u2019s stage setup allowed the crowd to see all the levels of his musicianship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSymone\u201d offered yet another highlight of Masego\u2019s own musicianship before he dove into \u201cNavajo,\u201d where his rap skills were on full display with a smooth cadence as phones went up and the crowd danced and sang it back. A projection of a starry night sky then set the mood for Lekan\u2019s return to the stage as they performed their collaboration on \u201cGone.\u201d To preface the next cut, titled \u201cDotted Line,\u201d Masego sat down at a piano and told us his family thinks of it as wedding song. \u201cThat\u2019s beautiful,\u201d he said as he finished.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the set felt less like a formal concert and more like an invitation into an intimate studio session with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did the vulnerable thing \u2014 let me make a beat from scratch,\u201d he told the crowd. \u201cGot me out here naked. If it\u2019s a good beat, send that to me. If it\u2019s not, delete that shit. Ya feel me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/@madisonfromdallas-38-e1785977551812.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40702340\"\/>POV: You\u2019re Masego looking out at the crowd vibing to your gorgeous, swoon-worthy set. <\/p>\n<p>And so he did, in fact, make a beat from scratch right there onstage, walking the crowd through his process as it happened. As he stacked the sounds live, his creative instinct was laid bare in a moment fans rarely get to see up close.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vulnerability is done. I\u2019m here to party,\u201d he said before moving into \u201cUnhinged,\u201d a standalone single released last year. By the time he finished, the crowd\u2019s singing along had basically taken over the end of the song.<\/p>\n<p>His Jamaican roots were on full display as he went into \u201cRecommend\u201d and \u201cHello,\u201d a collaboration with Buju Banton, the latter of which flowed into a DJ set that let him and the band vibe out. He stayed in the Caribbean with \u201cGo,\u201d closing it on a saxophone line and a drum breakdown.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/@madisonfromdallas-37-e1785977628170.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40702344\"\/>For a moment, we felt like we were in an actual studio session with the Grammy-nominated singer.<\/p>\n<p>The energy spiked when \u201cMystery Lady\u201d came up in the setlist as Masego grabbed a handful of roses and threw them out to the crowd. Someone threw a pair of panties onstage in return, and he lifted them on the mic stand, waving it like a flag. <\/p>\n<p>The last few songs of the night turned things all the way up, though. \u201cTadow\u201d made the audience scream at the top of their lungs, as he again reached for the saxophone as phones went up across the room. \u201cYamz\u201d held the momentum before the final crescendo of \u201cQVC,\u201d the Leon Thomas-featured standout on the new album.<\/p>\n<p>For a tour built on a record about grief, faith and heartbreak, Masego spent his tour opener more like a celebration of true musicianship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Masego&#8217;s Fix Your Face Tour opened right here in Dallas.
