Grammy award-winning singer, Mr Eazi, has made an exciting comeback with his first official album dubbed, The Evil Genius. The Evil Genius, which is his second compilation release for the year, comes on the heels of a seven-year career at the top of the afrobeats music landscape.

Recorded over the past two years between some of Mr Eazi’s favourite cities including, Accra, Cotonou, Lagos, London, Los Angeles and New York, The Evil Genius is an exciting musical scrapbook that blends afrobeats, afropop, gospel, hiplife, highlife and folklore into a glorious pan-African fusion sound in a way that only Mr Eazi knows how. The album sees Eazi collaborating with an international heavy-hitting cast of producers, including Kel-P (Nigeria), Michaël Brun, Knucks, and Nonso Amadi, as well as guest artists, such as Grammy Award-winning legend, Angélique Kidjo, Nigerian star Joeboy, and South African group Soweto Gospel Choir, to bring the 16-track project to life.

The Evil Genius is Mr Eazi’s most personal work by far, and it sees him diving deeply into strong themes around love, betrayal, loneliness, and family, expressed through three distinctive movements or acts, throughout the album. The first of these three chapters finds Mr Eazi unburdening himself of the weight of success and fame, followed by a five-song movement about love, with the album ending on a suite of spiritual and deeply resonant anthems that capture Eazi in thanksgiving mode.
