The track follows the release of the similarly stirring ‘Ivory White’ from earlier this year.
With real life being the absolute nightmare that it is right now, sometimes we find ourselves hoping for something of an escape from everything, a chance to run away and not have to face up to real life and its adversity and challenges, and that is exactly what latest Drew Thomas single ‘Smoke’ is about.
The track has an anthemic and rousing quality to it that feels cathartic and exhilarating throughout. Drew himself is someone that spent years hiding away from his sexuality and facing up to it, and the track serves as something of a liberating release of emotion and pride, unapologetically soaring and emphatic, and with singalong, relatable potential for people to resonate with it and feel a part of it. ‘Smoke’ is a catchy and inescapably fun ode to fucking up and getting things wrong, and being able to go again and again, growing and learning in the process. An inspiring and endearing release from an artist who’s creativity and guile continues to provide him with engaging, personality-filled moments like this.
