JANIE BAY RELEASES HER SINGLE “MY LIEF” FROM HRE NEW ALBUM
“PRISMA”
Afrikaans superstar Janie Bay pushes the envelope in songwriting and production yet again with her long-awaited new album Prisma. The album is the culmination of songs written between 2019 and early 2021. With personal themes of a family; love; passion; loss and encouragement, it is a masterful offering of diverse moods and musical textures that play widely between emotive ballads, lighthearted pop, and a good dose of electronic adrenaline. The 7 tracks, although seemingly different, come together in an intricate prismatic matrix that hits home with thoughtful intention in a time where nothing is certain. Bay generously moves between these mercurial emotions and fans will love the new sound. Hits on the album include the radio hit Ek Glo Nog In Jou with Danie Reënwolf, the new single My Lief featuring Majozi and Early B, and a moving toned-down version of a popular Fokofpolisiekar tune.
