Speaking about his new song, he says, "A burning effigy of an old flame. Cold Fire embodies the end of an era, the decay of a dying love story.
"This electro-pop offering evokes memories of a relationship that couldn't survive, but still the embers glow.
"Filled with regret and reminiscence conveyed by the haunting vocal and sombre tones, the fatigue of the fight echoed in the lyrics, Cold Fire is a letter of farewell to a love that never could be."
