Genn - Unum
If it was a point that needed making, Genn gleefully thumb their nose at the concept that ‘multiculturism has failed' as the UK Home Secretary disgracefully declared this week.
Three-quarters of Genn (guitarist Janelle, bassist Leanne, and vocalist Leona) have Maltese routes, while drummer Sofia’s background is Portuguese, Jamaican, and British, with the group adopting Brighton as their new home. Although not essential ingredients for the musically diverse, intoxicating collection of songs that make up Unum, one can assume they influenced this fine debut.
