With his new single “Always On My Mind,” British musician Drew Mason steps into one of the most emotionally delicate chapters of his catalogue, one shaped not by heartbreak in the romantic sense, but by the quiet ache of family loss and the memories that refuse to fade. The track continues the steady rollout of music leading toward his upcoming album, and it arrives with a clarity that feels both intentional and deeply personal.
Rather than leaning on grand gestures or melodramatic flourishes, Mason, fronted by vocalist and songwriter Andy Osman, crafts something grounded. The song carries a p p-rock warmth threaded with subtle country influences, giving it a familiar glow while keeping its emotional core intimate. Its production, led by Portsmouth based Sam Carter Brazier, is clean and spacious, every instrument feels carefully placed so Mason’s voice can land with honesty and weight. The arrangement never overwhelms. Instead, it wraps around him like a steady hand on the shoulder.
Lyrically, “Always On My Mind” reads like a conversation with the past, gentle, reflective, and finally ready to breathe. Mason doesn’t dwell in grief, he observes it, acknowledging how loss reshaped his life but also how time has softened the edges. The structure mirrors a love song, yet the devotion here belongs to memory rather than a partner. That subtle shift gives the track an emotional duality: some listeners might catch the deeper layers immediately, while others could interpret it as a simple ode of longing.
What makes the single stand out is its sincerity. Mason plays bass and contributes guitar parts, while Carter Brazier fills in the rest, creating a full band dynamic that feels organic and lived in. “Always On My Mind” is an understated but resonant step forward, an artist processing the past with newfound clarity and inviting listeners to sit with him in that calm.
