Grammy Winner Mr Eazi Gets Real About Love in New Single “Casanova”
Afropop sensation Mr Eazi is back with a bang, dropping his latest single “Casanova” – a playful yet deeply personal track that has fans buzzing about its honest take on love and temptation. The new release sets the stage for his anticipated Maison Rouge EP, coming this September through emPawa Africa.
Teaming up with powerhouse producers TMXO from Ghana and Nigeria’s own Kel-P, Mr Eazi delivers a refreshingly candid confession about the complexities of modern relationships. “Casanova is me being honest in the most unfiltered way,” shares the artist, opening up about the delicate balance between attraction and commitment. “I’m saying, ‘Yes, I love women, but my heart is with you.'”
The song comes alive in a captivating music video shot in the vibrant streets of Spain. Director Ademola Falomo, known for his work with Tems and Davido, crafts a mini-movie that follows a cab driver caught in a comedic web of misunderstanding when his wife spots him with another woman. The Barcelona backdrop provides the perfect setting for this tale of romance and misadventure.
“Casanova” was born in the creative haven of Hotel Maison Rouge in Cotonou, Benin, where Mr Eazi previously crafted his 2023 masterpiece, The Evil Genius. The track follows his recent releases “Corny” and “Attention” (featured in this summer’s F1 blockbuster), showcasing the versatility that’s made him a global phenomenon with over 4 billion streams across platforms.
For those who might not know, Mr Eazi isn’t just any artist – he’s a musical innovator who’s collaborated with Beyoncé and J Balvin, created the genre-blending Banku Music, and founded emPawa Africa, a game-changing talent incubator that’s reshaping the African music industry. His hits like “Pour Me Water,” “Skin Tight,” and “Leg Over” have already cemented his place in afropop history.
“Casanova” is now streaming on all major platforms, with the music video premiering today at 1 pm WAT. With this release, Mr Eazi continues to prove why he’s one of Africa’s most compelling voices in modern music.
