Genesis Owusu - Same Thing (Official Video)

After releasing his long-awaited debut album, Smiling With No Teeth, earlier this year to universal acclaim, ARIA-nominated, Ghanaian-Australian artist Genesis Owusu is back with a scintillating new single “Same Thing” and a brilliantly off-the-wall trippy video, with the rapidly ascendent star as we’ve never seen him before. It is the perfect visual accompaniment to the addictive future-funk of the track, Owusu’s magnetic delivery once again showcasing why he is every inch the future icon.

Owusu delves into "Same Thing's" fruition and the video's creation; “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.”
