There’s something truly special when two distinct musical energies find a perfect, unexpected harmony. This is precisely what King Promise and Mr Eazi deliver with their new single “That Way,” the second offering from their highly anticipated joint project, ‘See What We’ve Done.’
From the very first notes, the track transports you. It masterfully pulls from a millennial pop cornerstone, the iconic sound of the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way”, but doesn’t just sample it. Instead, King Promise and Mr Eazi, alongside production maestros GuiltyBeatz and JAE5, rebuild that nostalgic feeling through a contemporary Afrofusion lens. The result is a lush, rhythmic love song that feels both warmly familiar and excitingly new.
At its heart, “That Way” is a straightforward, potent declaration of desire. The artists take turns expressing a singular devotion, with lyrics like “Wetin you dey do me nobody dey come close” capturing that overwhelming feeling of finding someone who changes everything. The sentiment is raw, honest, and stripped of all pretense.
This collaboration feels instinctive. Looking at their track record, from early hits like “Dabebi” to recent successes like “Oh Yeah”, their partnership has always shown a remarkable creative alignment. They understand each other’s strengths intuitively; King Promise’s silky-smooth delivery dances effortlessly around Mr Eazi’s laid-back, conversational flow, creating a vibe that feels like two old friends in perfect sync.
Speaking to the vision behind their upcoming project, this single serves as a powerful statement of intent. It’s a meditation on connection and growth, proving that by honoring the past, you can create something firmly rooted in the present moment. The undeniable chemistry on “That Way” has fans eagerly speculating if this joint project is just the beginning of a longer creative journey for the duo.
One thing is clear: with “That Way,” King Promise and Mr Eazi have crafted the kind of seamless, genre-blending collaboration you might not have seen coming, but that instantly feels essential. It’s a confident step forward, and it makes the promise of ‘See What We’ve Done’ all the more exciting.
