TRUE Africa

Mr Eazi goes soulful on Radio 1’s Live Lounge

Mr Eazi has had a busy couple of days, what with announcing he’s dating TRUE Africa fav Temi Otedola all over his social media as well as getting on with his UK tour (if you’re in the UK this summer you can catch him in Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester Belfast and other cities).

He also appeared on Radio 1’s infamous Live Lounge – it’s a big deal: Craig David’s rendition of Justin Beiber’s Love Yourself basically relaunched his career. But Mr Eazi forgot the obvious: he’s meant to sing someone else’s song. Instead he pleased fans with Skin Tight, Short Skirt and Leg Over.

Although we’re happy to have Mr Eazi on repeat, it would have been nice of hear him give some modern classics an Afrobeat flavour. Wizkid tackled Bob Marley. What about some Despacito West African style?

You can have a look at Mr Eazi’s efforts below.

Tell us what you think about Mr Eazi’s stripped back versions of his greatest hits. We’re of the opinion nothing can beat the originals.
