| Casanova Music Video REVIEW |
Mr Eazi returns with a vibrant new single and music video titled “Casanova”, a refreshing addition to the Afrobeats landscape and the lead track off his forthcoming Maison Rouge EP, scheduled for release in September under emPawa Africa. Produced by TMXO and Kel-P, the track carries Mr Eazi’s signature smooth delivery with a warm guitar-driven groove that blends playful flirtation with emotional honesty. Lyrically, he balances charm and vulnerability, openly admitting his love for women while emphasizing loyalty and deep affection for one special person. This duality makes Casanova both relatable and engaging for listeners who appreciate Afrobeats with real storytelling.
The visuals, directed by Ademola Falomo, transform the song into a cinematic mini-story set in Barcelona. Mr Eazi takes on the role of a timid cab driver who finds himself in trouble after being caught in a compromising situation, sparking jealousy and drama. The playful narrative is filled with humor, romance, suspense, and stylish cinematography that captures the energy of the song perfectly. Mr Eazi himself described the concept as wanting the video to feel like a movie with twists, laughs, and chaos, and Falomo’s direction delivers exactly that with a backdrop that enhances the song’s mischievous yet romantic mood.
Beyond its catchy beat and visual appeal, Casanova showcases Mr Eazi’s artistic growth. It follows the storytelling path seen in earlier releases like Corny and Attention, but with sharper execution and a more cinematic presentation. The project title, Maison Rouge, pays homage to the creative hub where Mr Eazi crafted much of this music in Cotonou, Benin, also the birthplace of his 2023 album The Evil Genius. By anchoring his music in both narrative and location, he continues to create a unique artistic identity that stands out in the Afrobeats scene.
Overall, Casanova is a strong statement from Mr Eazi. It blends irresistible Afrobeats rhythms with heartfelt lyrics and pairs them with visuals that could easily stand as a short film. It is catchy enough for the dancefloor, yet thoughtful enough for fans who value storytelling in music. With this release, Mr Eazi sets the stage for Maison Rouge to be one of the most anticipated Afrobeats projects of the year, reaffirming his place as a global tastemaker and one of the genre’s most innovative voices.
