SMILING WITH NO TEETH | GENESIS OWUSU

2021: An assumption was made, when first seeing this album cover, that it is a hip-hop album. It might partly be but it is mainly an alternative R&B, neo-soul, rap-rock mash-up by a great new Australian artist. Genesis Owusu’s debut album “Smiling With No Teeth” has received positive reviews from critics. The album is a memoir that tells a story both unique to Owusu and universal to anyone who has ever felt “othered”. The album is diverse and eclectic yet still cohesive across the board. It’s a musical blender, showcasing his abilities in rock, hip-hop, soul, R&B and more . The album is full of density, creativity, passion, groove and all the other magical ingredients. It’s an album that underscores the power of self-knowledge, perspective and art
