Genesis Owusu by Isaac Brown

Genesis Owusu details his third studio record.

Genesis Owusu has set his new album Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge for release on May 15th and has described it as a response to, ‘seeing so much of the world and watching what was happening’:

I felt like I had something important to say. I was writing this almost for necessity because there were so many people not saying what needed to be said. I feel like I’m a student of Nina Simone, and she said, ‘the purpose of an artist is to reflect the times they live in’.

The LP will be taken out on the road during the spring when a UK date is scheduled at ICA in London on June 23rd.
