Afrobeats star, Mr Eazi unveils new 7-track EP titled “Maison Rouge” – an intimate renaissance of his ‘banku music’ roots’.
“Maison Rouge” is an callback to the ‘banku music’ era of sunny, sauntering chords and singalong melodies. It’s the result of a spontaneous process, even evident in the project title, named after the place in Cotonou, Benin Republic, where he was staying when the songs were recorded.Â
The EP restores the intimate and soulful glow of early classics and afropop essentials like ‘Skin Tight’ and ‘Bankulize’, while dialling it forward with inventive contemporary soundscapes and resonant story-first songwriting.
