Ian Abel Drops New Single ‘Karma’s a Bitch’
The title track of his 3-track EP, Karma's a Bitch is an angry, confident breakup anthem that finds the talented artist's signature vocal layering and storytelling abilities nicely wrapped around an upbeat production. Apart from his lush, confident vocals, I am particularly fond of the 80s-inspired samples, cool synths seamlessly paired with punchy percussive elements, catchy rhythms and an infectious hook that together create an overall feel-good atmosphere.
Speaking about the song, Ian Abel said,
My inspiration for ‘Karma’s a Bitch’ was the personification implied in that saying—what if Karma were a real person?. And then I was thinking of what a sexy bitch she would be, and how satisfying it’d be to see her get her way, how sweet it would be for her (for me) to get revenge.
The single’s release is accompanied by a cheeky music video that incorporates hilarious karmic-justice footage with chaotic DIY shots of Ian getting into drag.
