mase j continues to prove he’s one of London’s most compelling rising artists with his soulful new single, “lights off.”
Do you know what I love? When an artist makes music that feels like more than just music—and mase j does just that. Hailing from London by way of Croydon and Derby, mase has earned praise for his genre-blending sound, his thoughtful exploration of meaningful topics, and his undeniable work ethic, dropping numerous singles over the past few years. Some of his most notable tracks include “weigh down on me” and “STATE OF ART.” Now, mase j returns with his latest single, “lights off,” produced and mixed by Guus and featuring the beautiful vocals of rawda.
“lights off” is built around a gentle beat infused with emotional piano notes and a hint of old-school boom-bap flavor. Over the soothing production, rawda delivers a mesmerizing chorus that pulls you deep into your feelings. mase j complements it perfectly, using a steady, determined flow to reflect on growth, maturity, and the importance of letting go of grudges and moving on from past conflicts.
The vibe, the message, and the artistry all hit the mark—making “lights off” a standout release that’s absolutely worth a listen.
