Local crooner Lee Cole is responsible for a whole lot of toe tapping thanks to hit singles ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’, ‘Pink Dragons’, ‘Honey, Let Me In’, ‘Emotional’, ‘Cold’ and most recently ‘No Fear, No Tears’ and the pop star is back with new music this week as he drops ‘With Or Without You’ – another solid anthem.
Written by Lee, and co-produced and mixed with DeeGraaff productions, ‘With or Without You’ was inspired by a catchy groove line Lee had written. The single itself is defined by Lee as “a tongue-in-cheek kind of way in saying that I’ll be fine without someone by just dancing the night away.”
Speaking of the new single, Lee says “The song represents for me the next step in my new sound with ’No Fear No Tears’ setting the precedent of what’s to come. I decided to write something vibey that could get people to move and dance. One of my favourites I’ve ever written.”
The star also dropped the official music video for the track which sees him unite with director Lucinda Ohlson. “Lucinda and I have actually wanted to work on something for a longtime and this song gave us the perfect opportunity to do so. I’m a huge fan of her work so to work with her was great,” Lee tells us.
Watching the video and seeing how it tied in with the single, Lee delves into the idea for it, saying “The concept of the video was basically to just capture the energy and vibe of the song. We decided to get creative with the treatment by using lots of colors and cool locations,” and the team ended up shooting the video across various locations in Cape Town.
