As the world continues to combat a pandemic and more people are working from home, the more it allows individuals to realize the value of taking time out for themselves. Surely, "Work hard, play harder" is a mantra for many, but allowing time for necessary breaks and reflection is just as important. Rising star Masego alludes to this peaceful way of life in his latest single, "Veg Out (Wasting Thyme)."
In the video, Masego is seen enjoying the comfort of his home while doing anything to pass the time such as making TikTok videos, making FaceTime calls, and playing games with his friends. While the video showcases the singer kicking it with his homies, the song's lyrics are catered more to spending some chill time with his significant other. The piano-driven track finds Masego singing the hook as:
"I wanna veg out / I don't really care what you talk 'bout / I just wanna waste some time / I just wanna rest my mind."
Masego has no issue with turning up, but he also wants to use the turndown time to be at ease and spend quality time with the people he cares about the most. As more people continue to navigate a remote work lifestyle, Masego is letting listeners know that it is quite fine to wind down.
If the quarantine weekend calls for a mental break and self-reflection, or you want the right vibes playing in the background while placing bets on horsebetting.com as races continue in certain parts of the country, put this track on.
Masego's "Veg Out (Wasting Thyme)" is worthy of being in your rotation, and here's some reading material to keep you busy. Enjoy!
