Mr Eazi Links Up with Moliy for New Afrobeats Jam ‘Comfort’

Ghanaian-American singer Moliy has joined forces with Afropop star Mr Eazi on a new single titled Comfort, released on Friday, October 2, 2026.

The collaboration brings together two artistes with strong connections to Ghana’s evolving Afropop sound, with Mr Eazi returning to the musical style he famously describes as Banku Music.

Produced by Nigerian hitmaker Ragee, Comfort combines elements of Afrobeats, dancehall, hip-hop and R&B, built around a bouncy rhythm, bubbly bass synthesiser melody and smooth vocal performances from both artistes.

Mr Eazi described the record as a refreshed take on the sound that has defined much of his career.

“This is an updated version of my signature sound,” Mr Eazi said.

He added that the song was made with a particular mood and audience in mind.

“I’m making gyal dem music—sweet, easy, flattering gyal dem music.”

According to details surrounding the release, the song was recorded during Mr Eazi’s stay in London earlier this summer.

The track also arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Ademola Falomo. The visual takes a 1980s-inspired approach, incorporating telephone hotline commercial aesthetics, laser-grid graphics, shopping-mall photo studio settings and oversized mobile phones.

Mr Eazi’s strong Ghana connection

“Comfort” carries particular significance for Ghanaian listeners because of Mr Eazi’s longstanding relationship with the country.

Although born in Nigeria, Mr Eazi moved to Ghana to study at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, where his music career began taking shape.

His time in Ghana played an important role in the development of the sound that later became known as Banku Music — a blend of Ghanaian highlife influences, Nigerian musical elements and Pidgin storytelling.

Some of Mr Eazi’s earliest major collaborations were also with Ghanaian musicians and producers.

His record Bankulize, featuring Ghanaian rapper Pappy Kojo and produced by Juls, became one of the songs that helped introduce his distinctive sound to a wider audience.

He later collaborated with Efya on the widely recognised song Skin Tight, also produced by Juls.

Mr Eazi has continued working with Ghanaian artistes, with collaborations including Sarkodie on Anointing,Eugy on Dance For Me and King Promise on Dabebi.

He has also worked with Ghanaian producer GuiltyBeatz, including on Akwaaba with Patapaa and Pappy Kojo and Pilolo with Kwesi Arthur.

Another Ghanaian producer, KillBeatz, produced Mr Eazi’s Business featuring Mugeez of R2Bees, as well as Dabebi.

For Moliy, the collaboration arrives at a time when her international profile continues to grow.

The Ghanaian-American singer gained major global attention through Shake It to the Max (FLY), which became an international hit.

The remix reached No. 1 on Billboard’s US Afrobeats Songs chart and later entered the Billboard Hot 100, further establishing Moliy as one of the Ghanaian voices making an impact beyond the country’s borders.

Her appearance on “Comfort” therefore places her alongside an artiste whose own career has been closely linked to Ghana’s influence on contemporary Afropop.

The collaboration also comes shortly after Moliy postponed her planned Europe and UK tour, telling fans that she needed time to get to a better place mentally before returning to the stage.

Mr Eazi’s busy 2026

“Comfort” is the latest addition to Mr Eazi’s busy year.

The singer has released several singles in 2026, including Lambo featuring Vybz Kartel, Hide Your Love, and Remember That, in collaboration with US-based dancehall producer Dre Skull.

He also released the collaborative album See What We’ve Done with Ghanaian musician King Promise in April.

Beyond his own music, Mr Eazi is also known for his work as an entrepreneur and for founding emPawa Africa, an independent music ecosystem spanning label, distribution and publishing.

The platform has helped develop artistes including Joeboy, Fave and J.Derobie.

He also co-founded Choplife Soundsystem with DJ Edu in 2023.

Comfort is now available on streaming platforms, officially released on October 2, 2026, through emPawa Africa Music Services Limited.
