MeanAugustine Releases “Addiction” EP – A Deep Dive into Love, Desire, and Relationships
Ghanaian artist and producer MeanAugustine has officially released his much-anticipated debut EP, “Addiction”, a bold and emotionally charged exploration of love in its many forms. The eight-track project delivers a compelling narrative of passion, heartbreak, attraction, and desire, all set against a backdrop of infectious beats and dynamic production.
From the opening track “Crazy”, which tells the story of a woman asserting control in a one-night stand, to the heartfelt struggles of balancing love and financial stability in “Masherita”, MeanAugustine effortlessly captures the complexities of relationships. “Addicted” dives into raw, unfiltered passion, while “God Designed” celebrates beauty and questions love’s deeper meanings.
The EP also takes a melancholic turn with “Obi Mpena”, where MeanAugustine laments the pain of lost love, and “Fly You”, a romantic confession about unspoken feelings for a long-time crush. The energy ramps up with “Kukrudu”, an electrifying anthem packed with metaphors of healing and movement, before closing with “Packaging”, a playful yet cautionary tale about attraction and appearances.
Entirely self-produced except for “Masherita” (produced by Itz CJ Made It), “Addiction” highlights MeanAugustine’s versatility as both an artist and producer. Art Direction for the EP was handled by 1AnnorChris, giving the project a strong identity beyond the music
With Addiction, MeanAugustine sets the stage for what’s next in his career, proving he’s an artist worth paying attention to.
About MeanAugustine
Born Augustine Osei on December 10, MeanAugustine is a Ghanaian artist who started making music in 2015. Inspired by his parents’ love for music, MeanAugustine wrote his very first song about a High School crush. He loved the idea of his expressing his feelings via music and has since not looked back. With loads of unreleased music, he is optimistic of delivering the best of back to back entertainment to his growing audience nationwide.
What happens when a guitarist decides to write the most brazen rock song he can think of? In Pembroke Tenneson’s case, the answer is “Sex Appeal”.
The title says plenty, but the song goes considerably further. Tenneson throws himself into a world of self-praise and outrageous confidence, with one boast following another. It is cheeky stuff, but there is a real affection for the music behind the joke.
Tenneson has talked about his love of the early-1970s rock sound that inspired the track, and that comes across in the attitude of the performance. He is not trying to make the song subtle. He wants the guitars, vocals and lyrics to have some swagger.
The best thing about “Sex Appeal” is that the humour never takes over completely. There is a brilliant rock song underneath all the showing off, and Tenneson clearly cares about making it sound authentic as well as making people smile.
That makes this an appealing introduction to his forthcoming material. “Sex Appeal” is the first of 14 original songs he has been developing, so there is plenty more on the way to look forward to.
For now, though, Tenneson has picked an entertaining way to reintroduce himself as an artist. “Sex Appeal” has attitude, a catchy refrain and enough cheek to make it stand out. Stream below (via Now Listen):
