Global Music Superstar Mr Eazi unveils ‘Maison Rouge’ EP – an intimate Homecoming to his Banku Music Roots

GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY award-winning musician and creative innovator MR EAZI is excited to unveil his excellent new EP titled MAISON ROUGE, which doubles as a homecoming to his Banku Music roots, as well as a love letter to his day-one fans and the early signature sound that first made him a cult favourite.

The 7-track EP’s sonic palette blends nostalgic Banku Music instrumentation with modern detail — from its pocketed percussions and lilting guitar motifs to its spacious arrangements that leave ample room for feeling. It is intimate, romantic, and resolutely authentic, in the way that only Mr Eazi knows how to do.

Named after the Cotonou house where he lived while crafting this new project, and designed to evoke nostalgia for his early sound, the Maison Rouge 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. Across warm grooves, palm-wine motifs, intimate vocal textures, and rich melodies, Mr Eazi reconnects with his early listeners and welcomes a new generation into his Banku Music universe.

Leading the Maison Rouge project, “Violence,” produced by frequent collaborators P.Priime (Wizkid, Rema, Tyla) and E.Kelly (Major Lazer, Joeboy), unfurls on a mellow afrobeats groove, delivering something romantic and quintessentially Eazi. “Make E No Tey” rides a buoyant body-moving rhythm that brings pure sunshine in the middle of this autumn season. Elsewhere, “Busstop” channels upbeat Ghanaian hiplife into a kinetic afrofusion earworm built for radio, street parties, dancefloors, and big playlists alike. Lead singles “Casanova,” a cheeky and candid ode to choosing commitment produced by TXMO (Adekunle Gold, Oxlade) and Kel-P (Burna Boy, Future), the playful stripped-back and tender offering “Corny,” and “Love Me Now” deepen the tapestry of the project, while revealing their own layers in Mr Eazi’s intimate Maison Rouge story.

With over two billion streams under his belt, over fifteen million social media followers, and critical acclaim from the likes of New York Times, Billboard, and Rolling Stone, Mr Eazi frames this new Maison Rouge EP as a full-circle reset for the global star — it is his seminal Banku Music with renewed intention.

For Mr Eazi, Maison Rouge is more than this collection of seven songs; it is a place, a house of memory and melody where the afropop trailblazer is reconnecting with why he started, and inviting listeners to step in, slow down, and stay awhile.
