Lee Cole, one of pop’s most exciting new artists, has just dropped the single and music video for his latest release ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’.

Raised in Johannesburg, Lee Cole first gained attention in 2017 through his cover of the hit ‘Akanamali’ which has garnered over 300,000 views on YouTube to date. That same year, Cole released his first string of songs which saw rotation on a selection of SA’s biggest radio stations.

2020 kicks off with Lee Cole releasing his brand-new ballad ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’: a song pressing on the themes of heartbreak and toxicity in relationships. This single represents a bold new direction for him due to the rawness in the sound. Upon first listen, the soul-gripping tones of his vocals reel you in unapologetically: and by the end, it’s clear that there is a vulnerability in his sound – a piano or guitar painting over the cracks in the soar of his vocals.

Both the song and video were written and recorded in New Jersey, USA with indie label Watersound Entertainment and DMF Films respectively. Cole directed the music video himself choosing the Long Branch Train Station (New Jersey) as the locale to bring the song to life. Cole is set to tour in 2020 following the release of ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’.
