Wednesday Come Thru Vocals: Genesis Owusu, Ladyhawke and hemlocke springs Go Gloriously Off-Center
Genesis Owusu and Ladyhawke’s “FALLING BOTH WAYS” meets hemlocke springs’ “gloria!” for a Wednesday Come Thru Vocals double bill that refuses to play things straight. One pairing folds art-pop character into Owusu’s restless genre-blurring world; the other turns pushing through adversity into a wonderfully theatrical rallying cry.
Two tracks. Two discoveries. One daily detour.

Genesis Owusu feat. Ladyhawke
Tune: FALLING BOTH WAYS
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
The meeting of Genesis Owusu and New Zealand synth-pop favorite Ladyhawke is intriguing before the first note: two artists with unmistakable personalities refusing to settle into one lane. Appearing on Owusu’s 2026 album REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE, “FALLING BOTH WAYS” makes a compelling case for a collaboration that feels as unpredictable as its title.

Tune: gloria!
WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EAR
hemlocke springs makes resilience sound delightfully dramatic on “gloria!”, a restless pop-rock anthem with a triumphant streak. Her message is simple but hard-won: even when life knocks you sideways, pick yourself up, find your nerve and keep going. The Jackie! Zhou-directed video carries that defiant spirit into a surreal Mojave Desert adventure.
