GENESIS represents a notable evolution in Tommy Genesis' music, moving away from her typical bold, raunchy themes to explore deeper emotional struggles with rejection and nonconformity. Mohanraj offers a glimpse into her upbringing marked by uncertainty and present-day tribulations related to fame. The album reveals her vulnerability, portraying her as a work in progress navigating self-actualization. Tracks like "Archetype" reflect on past ostracization while the title track addresses her discomfort with public perception, emphasizing her need to be recognized as a person beyond her artist persona.
"Maybe I will step into my light/Maybe I will finally do what's right," she croons in her signature off-kilter flow, teetering right on the edges of the beat in her probing, if somewhat rambling, style.
"Thrown on a wall against the backdrop of a world and I know it hurts," she sings on the downcast ballad, "that they can't see you when all you see is Genesis."
