Released today, October 27th, under his independent record label emPawa Africa, “The Evil Genius” follows a seven-year career at the top of the afrobeats music scene. Eazi has become a major player in the international music scene over the years, owing largely to his iconic music catalogue, which includes over 4 billion global streams, and countless multiple platinum singles across two classic mixtapes, which housed hits such as “Skin Tight,” “Leg Over,” and “Pour Me Water,” among others.
The Evil Genius, recorded over two years in Mr. Eazi’s favourite cities—Accra, Cotonou, Lagos, London, Los Angeles, and New York—combines afrobeats, afropop, gospel, hiplife, highlife, and folklore into a glorious pan-African fusion sound that only Mr. Eazi delivers.
In a bid to produce a true masterpiece, Eazi collaborates with international producers Kel-P (Nigeria), Michaël Brun (Haiti), Knucks (UK), and Nonso Amadi (Canada), along with guest artists like Grammy Award-winning legend Angélique Kidjo, Nigerian star Joeboy, and South African group Soweto Gospel Choir, on the 16-track album.
The Evil Genius sees Mr. Eazi explore his sentimental side, as he shares about love, betrayal, loneliness, and family via three unique movements or acts. After unburdening himself of success and celebrity, Mr. Eazi sings five songs about love, and the album ends with a suite of spiritual and very moving choruses that capture him in a thanksgiving mood.
