"“I started writing this album because I was seeing so much of the world and watching what was happening,” Owusu said in a press statement. “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.'”"
"Prerelease singles “Pirate Radio,” “Death Cult Zombie,” “Stampede,” and “Life Keeps Going” are amongst the 14 songs that also see features from Duckwrth (“Hellstar”) and Ladyhawke (“Falling Both Ways”). Stream the collectionbelow, or via Amazon Music or Qobuz."
"The new LP follows the former CoSign honoree's STRUGGLER, a wildly fearless concept record that was one of our favorites of 2023. REDSTAR WU turns Owusu's experimental explorations from the existential to the immediate."
Genesis Owusu released his third full-length album, REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE. The project follows STRUGGLER and shifts experimental themes from existential concerns to immediate, present-day realities. Owusu began writing after observing events unfolding in the world and connected his purpose to reflecting the times artists live in, citing Nina Simone. The album includes 14 songs and features prerelease singles such as “Pirate Radio,” “Death Cult Zombie,” “Stampede,” and “Life Keeps Going.” Additional guest appearances include Duckwrth on “Hellstar” and Ladyhawke on “Falling Both Ways.” The album is available for streaming via platforms including Amazon Music and Qobuz, with live performances planned for upcoming Australian and EU tour dates.
