Masia One ft. Denny Frust give us a taste of freedom with their new single 'Wait In Vain'

The new single from Masia One – produced by Trinidad-based producer Kevin Perkins – once again cultivates good and carefree vibes. The Singapore born musician, rapper and producer has already experienced a lot of struggles and fights in her life so far. Among them was the fear of cancer, which turned out to be fibroids after an operation. That and the ancient Chinese philosophy of I-Ching, has taught her to slow down and understand the value of patience. And that’s what she also wants to teach other women through her art.

For her new single ‘Wait In Vain’ she collaborated with long-term friend Ska and Reggae singer Denny Frust. “We are both small Raggamuffin people that pack a punch and care a lot about music and community.” she tells. And with its raw and unaffected style, the song and the accompanying video gives us an infectious taste of freedom, beautiful places and a little reggae feeling.

Masia explains: “When I first got this beat from producer Kevin Perkins, I noticed that whenever I was in a bad mood I would put this instrumental on and feel uplifted and calm. When I finally penned the words for “Wait in Vain” I wanted it to capture this vibe. The lyrics describe some of my simplest yet happiest memories from driving oceanside with a loved ones to jumping in a car for a last minute road trip with friends. With the world opening up again, I imagine humming this melody this en route to my destinations, whether it’s visiting familiar places or opening a new chapter of adventure. Coming out of difficult time for many people, I wanted to release a song that could be a soundtrack to finding our way again – whether that’s reconnecting with loved ones, traveling to old haunts or just regaining a momentum and positive spirit. Wait in Vain is a chilled out reminder as we get back to our high speed hustles, to take the time to ‘taste this life’ because the sweetest moments could be like love on the wind ‘for a moment it blows'”.
