The Drew Thomson Foundation has released an official music video for “Karma,” the latest single to be taken off of their self-titled debut album that came out last year.

Drew Thomson about the song:

“Karma” is a song about a person being so blissfully unaware that they float through life, with things easily falling in their lap -  and in turn that ease and confidence then pushes people close away. It’s kind of about some people I know and kind of not. This should be easy, you just want to love me!

The Drew Thomson Foundation’s self-titled debut album follows a period of self-reflection and rectification to reveal surprising new sides of its songwriter. Produced by Alex Newport (At the Drive-In, City and Colour, Frank Turner) in his Los Angeles studio, its recording sessions found the Single Mothers frontman joined by bandmates and longtime collaborators to cultivate a collection of vulnerable lyrics into vivid, hook-laden anthems. Laying feelings bare on Thomson’s newfound sobriety, the death of a loved one, and pushing away people who he wants to keep closest, it welcomes listeners on his journey towards inner peace. Thomson recently snapped out of a 10-year alcoholic spiral, battling his depression and the crippling anxiety of a life spent in front of crowds by drinking himself into oblivion. During a recording session, he recalls a moment when he was the only one in the studio with a glass of wine and realized it had become a dependency. Never one to shy away from sad songs or flawed characters, where he says he finds “a lot of romance,” Thomson’s lyrics tell the tales of troubled narrators who may or may not be himself.
