Genesis Owusu is not only one of Australia’s most exciting breakthrough stars but a name set for imminent international crossover.
The 22-year old Ghanaian-born, Australia-based artist recently released “Don’t Need You,” his first official U.S. single, along with the Bart Celestino-directed video. Soundtracking one of the most combustive stretches of all modern history, where the planet has been shaken to the core by both the explosions of the global Coronavirus pandemic and the worldwide protests following the death of George Floyd, “Don’t Need You” represents the kind of emphatically empowering musical force that’s needed now more than ever. Genesis describes the track as, “An anthem of independence, a call to action to shed the grip of toxic places, spaces and faces.” There’s no doubting it is the kind of song that you can’t help but clench fists and stamp feet to.
