Highly Anticipated Follow-Up to 2021's Smiling with No Teeth on Vinyl LP!
Consequence Top 50 Albums of 2023 - Rated 37/50!
Genesis Owusu returns with the highly anticipated sophomore album, STRUGGLER. On the back of the critically acclaimed debut album, Smiling with No Teeth, that put Genesis Owusu on the global map, a new chapter begins with the lead single "Leaving the Light." A fervent anthem about survival and perseverance, "Leaving the Light" sets an urgent tone for the album. STRUGGLER explores the chaos and absurdity of life, and our ability to endure. Where Smiling with No Teeth was all about the battle (against depression and racism), STRUGGLER is about how to get through the struggle. The album was inspired by Owusu witnessing a close friend hitting the brink and coming through the other side. The experience, alongside reading Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Kafka's Metamorphosis, found Owusu questioning life and finding beauty in the struggle. The standard LP is featured on classic black vinyl.
