Following a series of recent singles, Anglo-Maltese quartet GENN finally release their debut album, unum, into the world. And with the promise of an eclectic mix of styles and sounds this album delivers all of this and a whole lot more.
GENN are a collective sisterhood of like-minded musicians who started out as a band originally in Malta before moving to the UK and finding Brighton as their newly adopted home. As a group with multi-national backgrounds, covering Maltese, British, Jamaican and Portuguese roots, this has inevitably shaped their experience of working within the music industry and also their sound and style. And this has already shone through in the singles they have released so far with A Reprise (That Girl) and Calypso having previously being featured in Louder Than War.
ĠENN are made up of Janelle Borg – guitars, Sofia Rosa Cooper – drums, Leona Farrugia – vocals, and Leanne Zammit – bass. There is no doubt that they are a band with a resolutely independent streak, demonstrated by them setting up the Liminal Collective through which they continue to release their music. This is a new multi-disciplinary collective that also serves as a space for other creatives to develop and release their art and collaborate with like-minded individuals.
