Genesis Owusu returns with new single & video "Same Thing"

After releasing his long-awaited debut album, Smiling With No Teeth, earlier this year to global acclaim, ARIA-nominated, Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu is back with his new single and video “Same Thing”.

Flowing with addictive bass flicks, wobbly synths and the rich production we have come to expect from any Genesis Owusu release, "Same Thing" glistens with future-icon feeling. As his magnetic presence glides between effervescent harmonies, affirming raps and a poetic cross, a brilliantly off-the-wall, psych-twinged video adds to the formula, showcasing the rapidly ascendent artist as we’ve never seen him before.

Genesis Owusu on "Same Thing":
“When the band and I were creating Smiling With No Teeth, we essentially made 60 hours of music for the album in 6 days. The songs chosen for the album conveyed a very specific narrative, but we also made a lot of great music that didn't necessarily fit the album's narrative points. 'Same Thing' was one of the tracks born from the seemingly limitless SWNT sessions. The track is still in the realm of the album's themes of mental health (more specifically, the crazy shit the mind makes up), so the video follows suit with a psychedelic barrage of both colourful and claustrophobic imagery.”
