Cold Visions is a studio album by Swedish rapper Bladee, released on 23 April 2024 through Trash Island. A surprise album, Cold Visions was released following Bladee and Yung Lean's collaborative rock album Psykos the previous month.[1][2][3]

Yung Lean appears on several tracks on the album, which also features guest appearances from Thaiboy Digital, Sickboyrari and Ecco2K. It was largely produced by F1lthy of Working on Dying, who had previously worked on Bladee's 2017 mixtape Working on Dying, with contributions by a wide range of producers including Yung Sherman, Lusi, Woesum, Mechatok, Whitearmor, Skrillex, James Ferraro and Gabriel Schuman, who served as executive producer alongside Bladee.

HotNewHipHop highlighted the song "Terrible Excellence",[4] while Paper highlighted "Fun Fact".[5] In a review written by Kieran Press-Reynolds of Pitchfork, Cold Visions received the Best New Music accolade and a rating of 8.3 out of 10.[6]
