Redstar Wu And The Worldwide Scourge

Description

These last five years, Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu has established himself as one of the most promising artists of the moment. His two consecutive albums, Smiling with No Teeth (2021) and Struggler (2023), have been critically acclaimed, confirming his status as one of the most original and innovative artists in the current Australian scene. Today, at 27, he is about to release his third album, REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE. An eclectic musical journey underpins this opus. A kaleidoscope of instrumentation and sounds collapses the boundaries of genres. The soundtrack evolves with the tracks, from neo-soul to alt-pop, from synth-punk to funk. This subtle intertwining guides the listener through moments of collective ecstasy and despair, resistance and joy, dance and reflection. The ability to harmonize his eclectic tastes into a single work, to sculpt the purest human emotions into song, is a unique gift that Owusu has perfected, the depth of feelings in the album effortlessly matching the depth of his lyricism.
