NASHVILLE, TN (August 15, 2025) – LECADE doesn’t hold back on his new track “Blind,” a charged heartbreak anthem that depicts a lover’s lackluster attempt to conceal her unfaithfulness. Built on lively guitar, steady drums and a smooth vocal delivery, the track – out today via Big Machine Records – offers an unfiltered look at a relationship unraveling under the weight of deceit. Written by LECADE alongside Beau Bailey, Brandon Manley, Cole Miracle and Justin Holt, “Blind” captures the boiling point of betrayal – when the warning signs can no longer be ignored and the suspicion becomes certainty. While putting the pieces together, LECADE calls out the lies and late nights, leaning into the bitterness and disbelief that it ever got this far. The up-and-coming Country artist continues to embrace confessional songwriting, delivering the kind of honesty that resonates with fans who have lived through similar pain. With its slow-burn production and cut-to-the-core lyrics, “Blind” is another strong addition to LECADE’s growing catalog.
“‘Blind’ is a song that came from a time in my life that I find myself still carrying with me sometimes. It’s about loving hard, losing harder, and realizing sometimes we don’t see the truth until it’s right in front of us,” shares LECADE. “This is a really personal and honest piece of music to me, and I hope it makes people who might relate feel seen and heard.”

ABOUT LECADE: Splitting his upbringing between Winfield, Louisiana, and Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Cade Brinkley, better known as LECADE, grew up watching his dad play in dives and legendary honky tonks (like Tootsies) across the south with his band. Falling in love with music at such an early age, LECADE began consuming music of all kinds before converting from an avid listener to a creator himself. In high school, he began creating music in his bedroom by buying beats from YouTube creators and writing lyrics over them—which caught the attention of Nashville and TikTok alike. Now, the Country artist is determined to be the next to defy genres, successfully marrying Pop-Country with just enough Hip-Hop style. Averaging more than 3 million monthly listeners, he is growing his streams and has accumulated more than 100 million streams to date. With his unique, yet somehow familiar vibe, made for mainstream and outlaw Country fans alike, LECADE has produced his song “Next Town Over,” his popular single “When I’m Gone” and songs from his debut Country album, Chasing Ghosts. Now signed to Big Machine Records, LECADE is currently in the studio working on new music.
