Genesis Owusu flexes his rockstar prowess on punk-charged single and video 'Stay Blessed'
Sounding like he landed from the year 3000, Ghanian-Australian prodigy Genesis Owusu is lining up to release his anticipated sophomore album 'Struggler' this Friday (August 18).
Today, Owusu shares the album’s third single, 'Stay Blessed,' alongside the Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore-directed video starring him and his 'Roaches' – fans from across Australia that showed up to the video shoot in Melbourne ready to shave their heads and dawn the album’s iconic red stripe on their heads.
The 'Stay Blessed' video is more scaled back and raw than the album’s previous videos for 'Leaving the Light' and 'Tied Up!,' directed by globally-celebrated Aotearoa (New Zealand) visual artist Lisa Reihana.
Speaking about the new video, Owusu says: "7 days before this was shot, i put up an instagram story asking if anyone was available at this specific time, at this specific place, but most importantly, if they were a baldy / were down to shave and colour their head for me. Thank you to the 70 people who flew up, drove down, and skipped work to come mosh with me."
