When listening to the remarkable debut full length from Genesis Owusu, “Smiling With No Teeth," one can't help but be struck by the sheer number of different genres between which the Ghana-born, Australia-based artist bounces at a head-snapping pace. There’s sludgy techno ("On the Move!"), synthy New Wave ("The Other Black Dog"), modern electronic R&B ("Centerfold"), retro soul ("Waitin On Ya" & “Smiling With No Teeth”), political-leaning hip-hop ("I Don't See Colour"), and even punk rock ("Black Dogs").
It’s an incredible feat, considering it took genre-bending artists like Bowie, Talking Heads, Grace Jones, or, more recently, Anderson .Paak, entire careers to cover this much musical ground. Yet Owusu—who just delivered a powerhouse live set on Morning Becomes Eclectic— keeps things cohesive with the common denominator that is his undeniable voice, presence, and lyrical prowess, making for one of the great albums of 2021. —

When perennial KCRW favorites Sault dropped their latest surprise album “Nine” last week, we assumed this week’s number one chart spot was a foregone conclusion. Imagine our surprise, then, to see French electro-pop duo Polo & Pan stealthily take the lead. It’s a good surprise, of course, as the pair’s “Cyclorama” is a pure delight. Expect to see both of these albums parked firmly in the top ten for quite some time.
Another pleasant surprise from this week’s chart is ample material for beefing up your “work vibes” playlists. Vocal-free goodies from Sweatson Klank, Daniel Avery, and John Carroll Kirby are fully up to the task.
