MANILA, Philippines — Today, Massiah breaks into the local music scene with his latest single, “Stay With Me”, along with a music video co-directed by the artist himself.
Born and raised in Dumaguete, singer-songwriter Massiah joined Careless Music Manila in 2018. Since then, he has opened for renowned international acts such as ASAP Rocky, ASAP Ferg, and Khalid. He was also featured along with five other artists in international collective 88rising’s Philippine-based project, Paradise Rising. Skillfully stitching together R&B elements with the lively bounce of afrobeats and a tropical flair, Massiah is an artist known to stay true to his Filipino-Ghanian roots.
His latest track, Stay With Me, is a groovy R&B number that is an ode to the final
moments of a lover’s departure, reflecting on the heartfelt promises a couple give themselves before they say their goodbyes. It is raw and clever, a signature of Massiah’s lyricism that works exquisitely in tandem with the rich and groovy melodies of the song.
To pair the track with visuals, a music video is released with a narrative that is
perfectly synonymous with Stay With Me’s lyrics. It presents Massiah in a secluded beach resort, enjoying the beauty of nature with a lover. The picturesque scenes were shot on location in Massiah’s hometown of Dumaguete City, which is his nod to the place he calls his home.
“Stay With Me” is the first of a trilogy of tracks that Massiah is set to release with
Careless Music this year.
