Local Afrikaans pop star, Janie Bay, is fast cementing herself as one of the most exciting pop acts in the country. With a slew of number one singles under her belt, Janie has a brand-new track dropping this week titled ‘My Lief’, in which she teams up ‘Die Heelal’ collaborator Early B and friend Majozi.
Janie says that she enjoys writing songs about the musings of love. She explains that the message is honest and simple. “Relationships aren’t perfect. Sometimes things get hectic, but then one remembers, that through true commitment, partnerships can stick through thick and thin,” she dishes.
While writing the track a while back, Bay realized that ‘My Lief’ had the potential to be a perfect collaborative song. The idea of working with Majozi was gestating for a while and when his eventual verse in the song sounded more spontaneous in English, Bay decided to go with it.
To push the song a little further, Bay also thought of bringing in Early B. The rapper instantly loved the vibe of the song saying “‘My Lief’ is a song that is needed in our current times. The world is not what it used to be and at this point, it sure feels good to be loved unconditionally by the people close to us.”
The song is the latest single off Janie Bay`s upcoming album Prisma that will be released by Warner Music South Africa on 18 June 2021.
