Genesis Owusu continues to be one of Australia’s most in-demand exports. Today, he releases a new remix by acclaimed Grammy-nominated musician and producer ZHU of Owusu’s hit 2022 single, “Get Inspired,” which features a menacing and poetic punk hybridity and an infectious falsetto breakdown. “Zhu wanting to remix ‘Get Inspired’ was a pretty crazy thing to hear,” notes Owusu. “He really came through to twist it into a grimy club track, and even came to spit some bars of his own.”

The Ghanaian-Australian artist, born Kofi Owusu-Ansah, recently performed at NME x Bose’s SXSW showcase and is set to support Paramore on a number of North American arena tour dates starting in May. He also recently performed with The Black Dog Band as part of the Red Bull Symphonic series in Australia, where he joined forces with Brisbane Symphony Orchestra (March 3 at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall) and Sydney Symphony Orchestra (March 23 at the iconic Sydney Opera House Concert Hall) for two unforgettable concert experiences. Praise included NME who called the Sydney show “a magnificent spectacle” in their 5 / 5-star review.

The release of “Get Inspired” followed the 2021 release of Owusu’s debut LP Smiling With No Teeth. His profound artistic revolution and soul-bearing diversity on the album ushered him in as one of Australia’s most praised recent albums. It was named “Album of the Year” at the ARIA Awards, “Best Record” via Rolling Stone Australia, triple j’s “Album of the Year” and more. It also received global praise from tastemakers and critics alike including i-D, Los Angeles Times, MTV, NPR Music, OkayPlayer, PAPER Magazine, Pitchfork, SPIN, Teen Vogue, The FADER, The Needle Drop and much more. Owusu additionally saw his album track, "Gold Chains" included on President Obama's Favorite Music of 2021 list.
