Album: Maison Rouge by Mr Eazi

The Nigerian superstar and creator of the influential Banku Music sound, Mr Eazi, has released his highly anticipated new EP, titled Maison Rouge, on October 29, 2025. This project serves as a creative homecoming, marking a return to the signature sound that first established him as a cult favorite across Africa and beyond.

The Maison Rouge EP is a compact collection of seven tracks, offering a cohesive listening experience. The official tracklist includes "Violence," "Wait For Your Love," "Casanova," "Make E No Tey," "Corny," "Busstop," and "Love Me Now". Based on available information, the project does not include any featured artists, focusing solely on Mr Eazi's artistry. The EP is released through his own independent venture, emPawa Africa Music Services Limited, and the music is firmly rooted in the Afrobeats genre, while also revisiting the soulful, palm-wine infused textures of his seminal Banku Music.

What makes Maison Rouge particularly interesting and worth listening to is its intimate and reflective nature. Named after the Hotel Maison Rouge in Cotonou, Benin, where the project was recorded, the EP is designed as a love letter to his long-time fans. It restores the intimate and soulful glow of early classics like "Skin Tight" but dials it forward with contemporary production from in-demand hitmakers such as P.Priime, Kel-P, and E.Kelly. Tracks like "Violence" explore the quiet tensions of a relationship with raw vulnerability, while "Casanova" offers a playful yet candid confession about love and temptation.

For any fan of Afropop, Maison Rouge is more than just an EP; it is an invitation to step into Mr Eazi's creative world and experience a full-circle moment from a true global innovator.
