Mr Eazi is Something Else : Check out his newly released Something Else EP
Global afropop superstar and music business visionary MR EAZI steps into 2021 with
Something Else , a brief yet epic five-song EP featuring production from a roll call of top
Nigerian beatmakers ( Killertunes , E Kelly , Kel P , Blaq Jerzee and Spellz ).
After spending much of the last year growing his business empire and mentoring
young artists in his emPawa Africa incubator, S omething Else finds Eazi returning to the
smoothed-out fusion of afrobeats and highlife he first developed on massive hits like
“Skin Tight” and “Leg Over.”
“I spent the entire year working on building emPawa Africa and morphing into Don
Eazi, the mogul,” Eazi says playfully. “I almost had no time to record. This project was
inspired by Kel P and Killertunes, who kept coming to meet me in Accra until I finally
recorded ‘The Don.’ And that opened the door for me getting back in the studio.”
“The Don,” with its operatic intro, is the opening track on S omething Else , inviting
listeners into Eazi’s ever-expanding world while “Love For You” is vintage Mr Eazi, a
tender afrobeats track equally fit for club nights and family celebrations. Elsewhere, the
Kel P-produced “E Be Mad” surrounds Eazi’s sonorous tenor with gorgeous guitar
melodies and sax notes for a more vintage feel. “‘E Be Mad’ is a love song dedicated
to everyone in a long relationship wanting to take it further,” Eazi explains.
“Saudi Arabia,” one of two tracks produced by Blaq Jerzee, was inspired by time Eazi
recently spent in the Middle East. “It’s a feel-good jam expressing love to your loved
ones. The line goes like “I’ll cherish you, I go treasure you, everyday I go pamper you
like the gold and silver that I found in Saudi Arabia.”
While the tracks were recorded with a diverse set of producers, there’s a harmony to
Something Else . For Eazi, the project represents an intermission, or “calm before the
storm,” in his journey from the artist on breakthrough projects Life Is Eazi, Vol. 1 -
Accra To Lagos (2017) and L ife Is Eazi, Vol. 2 - Lagos to London (2018) project to the
globe-changing Don of his as-yet-untitled debut album.
