Soul de Vienne’s releases new single “Stop Being Blind”, which isn’t addressed to the person in the destructive relationship. It’s aimed at the friend watching it happen, refusing to stay silent while someone they care about mistakes toxicity for devotion.

Composer and producer Roman Schleischitz anchors the track in a specific emotional position: the frustration of watching love override logic. “It’s a call to everyone not to lose themselves in false love stories, but to recognize their own worth – and to stand up for it,” he explains. The song operates as both an intervention and a mirror, pushing listeners to question whether they’re the one being warned or the one who needs to speak up.

The Austrian collective builds the track on live instrumentation that refuses to sit still. Warm electric piano layers over a grooving rhythm section while brass punches through at strategic moments, creating space for the vocal to shift between vulnerability and confrontation. The arrangement mirrors the emotional push-pull in the lyrics: moments of restraint followed by urgent release.

Soul de Vienne’s approach treats funk and soul as tools for emotional precision rather than nostalgia. The production captures the rawness of watching someone reject the truth while maintaining enough groove to keep the message from collapsing into lecture. It’s the sound of caring enough to risk the friendship.

Following “Please, Forgive Me Today” and “My Life Is Mine,” “Stop Being Blind” continues Soul de Vienne’s pattern of wrapping uncomfortable emotional truths in sophisticated arrangements.

The single is available now on all major streaming platforms.
