For rising electropop singer and music producer Lesha, Karma is more than just a word. It is the title of her second single, which is included in her “Sun Moon Rising” collaboration album.

In “Karma,” Lesha talks about having to deal with people who ónly see her as someone they can take advantage of. She also shares how her experiences have molded her into the artist and person she is today.

Lesha is once again collaborating with international producers although she did produce and record “Karma” in her own bedroom. What she did was to send the song to her collaborator and co-producer in South Korea, Rebenn, and he took the lead from there. Nephibis, a rapper from Baltimore who Lesha previously collaborated with on a track for the Netflix film, “Project Power,” was also cool to jump in for a verse.

The song is a revolutionary anthem for artists like Lesha, who are trying to fight the system and its injustices,

“I made sure to make this song relatable to whatever situation a person is going through in life and I feel like I’ve hit a jackpot with ‘Karma,’” she said.

“You’re underrated, baby, know you’ll make it far” is one of the lines in Lesha’s song “Karma.”

This is how Lesha explained it: This line was inspired by my YouTube’s comment section and Twitter mentions. When people would watch or listen to my music on YouTube or tweet about me, they’d always write something cool about me then go “....she’s super underrated though and I don’t know why.” I guess I’m just aware of how much passion, time, money, effort and love I put into all my projects for it to not get the attention I believe it deserves, and how many times I’d get an opportunity where one of my videos would go viral, but none of them actually translated to make me cut through as an artist here in the Philippines. Through the years, I’ve shown my audience that an artist that can make it in the industry without being backed up by the big machinery. I’ve had so many people take advantage of me in the past, but that doesn’t stop me.

“But if only you could see things from my point of view, they’ll only love you when you make them bank…” goes another line from “Karma.”

“The line also talks about how unfair the industry can be. When an artist goes viral, that’s the only time they will invest and build them which is probably also why there are so many talented artists out there who are unseen for their work because they were never given the platform or stage they deserve all because of how the system works. With this, I came up a decision to make the bold move of going fully independent again and teaming up with a new team for my music distribution, because I felt it was the right thing to do,” said Lesha.

There are more things to look forward to from Lesha in the coming days.

“I can say KARMA is a very ‘Lesha’song in a sense that people can tell because of the messaging, the visual aesthetic and the overall vibe of the track, which is the complete opposite from my first release. This is something people should expect from the next releases in the album because each release has its own flavor or side people haven’t seen or heard from Lesha yet.”

“Karma” is dropping on October 8 on all digital music streaming platforms! Check out Lesha’s music on Spotify or watch official music videos, covers and learn more about the artist on her YouTube channel.
