Lee Cole Brings on a ‘Headrush’ – South African singer-songwriter Lee Cole is set to release his highly anticipated new single “Headrush” on all digital platforms from today. The single is accompanied by a music video.
This follows the major success of his previous single “Blind,” which has been played over 1,250 times across various South African radio stations. The single has reached over 72 million listeners since its release in February and topped multiple major radio charts.
Lee Cole reflects on his journey since “Blind,” saying, “It’s been a great year so far. ‘Blind’ marked the start of a new chapter and gave my fans a taste of what’s to come.”
More about ‘Headrush’
The new single “Headrush” explores the exhilaration of reliving memories with someone you love, with a higher-energy vibe that represents a departure from Cole’s usual style.
“I think in the process of writing this album, I’ve been inspired to step out of my comfort zone and to try styles, genres, and sounds I wouldn’t normally experiment with. ‘Headrush’ is one of those songs where I really extended my creativity in a different direction,” he said.
Despite this exploration, the song retains Cole’s signature sound, a blend of pop with traces of R&B/Soul. Cole describes “Headrush” as a song that feels good and hopes fans will connect with its lightness and energy.
More about the ‘Headrush’ Music video
“When we started conceptualising the music video for ‘Head Rush,’ we aimed to encapsulate a time well spent. To evoke that rush, that feeling of euphoria and novelty that being with someone you love can give you. We headed to Cape Town. The most beautiful place in the world! Capturing various activities that metaphorically represent the excitement and euphoria of love.
Along with my director, Kyle, and videographer, Darren, we planned an exciting tour of the city. Featuring iconic elements like the vibrant Bo-Kaap neighbourhood and the famous pigeons that fill the air. The entire video was shot over a week, and we had the most fun bringing our vision to life.” adds, Lee Cole
With a new album and tour planned for the end of the year, Lee Cole is ready to take his fans on a fresh musical journey.
