Genesis Owusu
Redstar Wu And The Worldwide Scourge 2LP (yellow vinyl)

Over the past five years, Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu has emerged as one of the most exciting artists of the moment.

Back-to-back albums Smiling with No Teeth (2021) and Struggler (2023) were released to critical acclaim, cementing him as one of the most distinct and innovative artists to have risen from the Australia scene in recent years. Now, at 27, he readies himself to release his third album, REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE.

An eclectic musical journey sits in the underscore of the album. A kaleidoscopic display of instrumentation and sound bending see genre borders crumble into dust. The sound bed shifts with the turning tides of the record. Neo-Soul feeding into Alt Pop, Synth Punk into Funk. This delicate weaving guides listeners through moments of collective ecstasy and desolation, resistance and joy, dance and reflection. The ability to tune his blended taste into one, to carve the purest of human emotions into song is a unique gift that Owusu has honed, the depth of feeling in the record effortlessly matching the depth of his lyricism.
