Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu will release his highly anticipated sophomore album, STRUGGLER, out August 18 via OURNESS / AWAL. He is also set to bring his vibrant live show to North America this fall for a headline tour, following his arena tour this spring supporting Paramore. Today, the artist born Owusu returns with his latest single, “Tied Up!” – the follow up to lead single “Leaving The Light” which was praised by the likes of Billboard, Consequence, SPIN and more. Listen to “Tied Up!” here: https://genesisowusu.ffm.to/tied-up.
“Tied Up!” is the album’s magnum opus and defined by a stomping beat and warping guitar line, buttered by Owusu’s forceful vocals that speak to the heart of the album’s mindset; the struggle of getting by in an uneasy world, and holding onto oneself in the process. Produced by Sol Was (Beyoncé’s Renaissance) and Henry Was (Justin Jay, Thumpasaurus), the addictive track lends energetic nods to fan favorites like “Good Times” and “Wit Da Team” rounded out by a pounding, yet meditative, outro; ‘I’m the struggler, ain’t no way to love ya’. Watch the “Tied Up!” video, which continues his collaboration with globally-celebrated Aotearoa (New Zealand) visual artist Lisa Reihana, and sees Owusu as a boxer going to battle for himself while running from his demons.
