    While REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE may not embrace an explicit narrative framework like Owusu’s first two records, it charts a linear journey from dystopian despair to cautious optimism.

    Falling Both Ways blends echo-laden percussion and threatening vocals like OutKast, while Pirate Radio owes more than titular similarity to This Is Radio Clash. .... Where does he go next? Wherever he wants. [Jul 2026, p.89]

    You can’t fault Owusu’s ambition, nor his ability to translate his furies and fears into a response that feels genuinely reactive and urgent. On his third album, he’s made a truly modern version of a protest record.
