"'Blind' is a song that has been in the works for quite some time, and it revolves around the idea of vulnerability and openness in relationships. In this day and age, there's a growing sentiment that many people have started to hold back and not fully open up in relationships, and this song delves into that," says Cole.
To celebrate his new single, Cole also took on the ultimate Tina Turner song, 'The Best', which he performed on the Friday Live stage.
