Greg Osei - love alive (2024) [Hi-Res]

Musician and interdisciplinary artist Greg Osei has always found himself breaking down barriers, between people, between concepts, between genres, and between creative media. He is known for his soulful vocals, healing performances, breathtaking visuals, and multi-genre music with Afrocosmopolitan flair, exemplified by his single “Searching for Wonder” and its award-winning music video. The dance-music film highlights the connection that black people can find within to their ancestral pasts and their transformative futures.

At the height of the 2020 pandemic, Greg was inspired to write and produce music that encouraged dance and movement, celebrated love and connection, and engendered community. The result was love alive, a concept album about choosing love in spite of immense fear. Drawing on his own experiences, reflections, and social justice convictions, Greg crafted an album that was both personal and universal, profound and just plain fun. Rooted in r&b/soul, the project reflects Greg’s expansive musical influences like dancehall, afropop, house, synth funk, dance pop, and gospel. love alive captures an exciting moment of redefinition for Greg in which he is at his most authentically expressed, sharing varying facets of his identity, from his passionate sensuality and raucous playfulness to his deep spirituality and confessional storytelling. More than ever before, Greg’s artistry is an invitation to revel in our own exquisite complexity.
