The Karma Effect are proud to share new single ‘Waiting On A Miracle,’ the first glimpse of fresh studio material from the acclaimed young British band since last year’s show-stopping sophomore album ‘Promised Land’ unexpectedly gatecrashed the Top 20 Official UK Album Chart.
The South London blues rockers – Henry Gottelier (vocals/guitar), Robbie Blake (guitar), Nathan Keevil (bass), Alan Taylor (drums) & Tom Pitt (keyboards) – have also today announced the first details of their eagerly-awaited third studio album, ‘Cruel Intentions,’ which is set for release via the mighty Earache Records on 15th May 2026.
With his breathtaking vocals propelling today’s first single release, frontman Henry says; “’Waiting On A Miracle’ is an uplifting, vintage-soaked rock ‘n’ roll anthem, built on everything we love about classic rock and driven by a hard-hitting riff that channels that unmistakable American sound. Lyrically, the song tells the story of a down-and-out underdog – someone written off as a loser, constantly on the wrong side of luck. But just when the odds seem set, he flips the script, gets the girl, and ends up living a moment that feels like magic. It’s a celebration of unexpected victories and the belief that something better is always just around the corner.”
‘Waiting On A Miracle’ sees the band take the bluesy swagger of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the loose, funky horn lines of The Rolling Stones’ ‘Exile On Main Street’ and the iconic ‘Margarita Horns’ sound of Aerosmith’s Fairbairn years and turn those influences into something uniquely their own.
