Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge CD

Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge is Genesis Owusu's third album, put out on his own label, Ourness, and built as a direct response to what he was watching happen in the world around him. "Hellstar Wu" pulls in Duckwrth and "Falling Both Ways" brings in Ladyhawke, with the Australian artist still jumping between funk, alt-pop, rap, and neo-soul the way he always has. This UK CD import lands a record critics have called maximalist and sprawling even measured against his own standards.
