Our 2025 mission remains: to shine a spotlight on great Australian music.
Here we dive deep into Struggler, the critically acclaimed second album by Genesis Owusu. With its genre-bending soundscape, existential themes, and unrelenting energy, Struggler cements Genesis as one of the most inventive and fearless artists in the Australian music scene—and beyond.
We peel back the layers of sonic experimentation, poetic lyricism, and Owusu’s shape-shifting persona. From the post-punk propulsion of “Leaving the Light” to the dystopian funk of “Tied Up!”, we unpack how Struggler wrestles with chaos, identity, and perseverance—anchored by Genesis’s unmistakable voice and bold creative vision.
Along the way, we connect the album’s themes to the broader challenge of carving out space for Australian artists in a global market dominated by US and UK acts.
Why is Struggler so vital in this cultural moment?
What does its international success say about the evolving landscape of Australian music?
And how does Genesis Owusu embody the future we hope to see for homegrown artistry?
Tune in as we celebrate Struggler — a record that refuses to play by the rules, and a reminder of why Australian music matters on the world stage.
