If you've read our interview with Maha Jeffery (https://www.gendang.com.my/2021/02/14/maha-jeffery-on-his-new-single-used-to-be-and-upcoming-album/?fbclid=IwAR3pNi37H8FFoTQJyYKTL6NqKQLnC4r9-dsyp71fm6CuXExhSwyMVfzT_Oo), you'll be thrilled to know that the music video for 'Used to Be' is now out!

And along with it, an important message of an often overlooked issue which is men's mental health.

“It just came from looking around at how men act or even how I was raised. The idea that talking about your feelings to your friends, or professionals about your problems, or even crying, isn’t ‘manly’.

Check out the video below and remember, you're not alone.
