Love Me Now is Mr Eazi's first solo single of 2025, produced by P.Priime and released following his earlier collaboration For My Head with Ghanaian singer-songwriter D Jay. Mr Eazi — born Oluwatosin Ajibade — is widely credited as the pioneer of Banku music, a genre fusing Ghanaian highlife with Nigerian chord progressions, a sound he developed during his time living between Lagos and Accra. He is also the founder and CEO of emPawa Africa, an initiative supporting emerging African artists that has been praised by CNN and Forbes.

Magnito – OdogwuLove Me Now is a heartfelt Afrobeats record that explores vulnerability, love and past mistakes, with lush synths and rhythmic percussion under Mr Eazi's signature laid-back delivery. His use of Ghanaian Pidgin alongside Nigerian melodic phrasing keeps the Banku identity present even as his sound has evolved across his career — from Skin Tight in 2013 through to his debut album The Evil Genius in 2023, which featured Legalize and Chop Time, No Friend. His past collaborations span Beyoncé, J Balvin and Bad Bunny, confirming a reach that few Nigerian solo artists have matched outside the typical Afrobeats lane.
Rating: 8/10.
