LISTEN: Julanie J Wows With Debut Afrikaans Album ‘Mooi’

She’s been teasing new music ever since she inked a record deal with Warner Music South Africa and after dropping hits like ‘Dalk Is Ek’ and ‘Sandkastele’, Julanie J has finally dropped her debut Afrikaans album aptly titled ‘Mooi’.

Beautifully written and composed, Julanie explains that each song on the album is a love story. She says: “This is an album of self-discovery. All the songs are about things that happened in my life that I would like to share with others.”

The album’s brand-new single ‘Liefde Wat Ons Heelmaak’ is a duet that with the talented singer Ivan Roux – and is certainly a highlight off the record. “I am excited about this song. I always aim for international standard in the production and recording of my songs and I feel proud of what we have achieved with this track,” Julanie says. “The song is about going through a break-up. Most of us go through this kind of heartbreak in our lives. It was a privilege to be able to record this with Ivan Roux. His deep, warm voice was the perfect match to help deliver the intended emotion of this song.”

Meanwhile, Julanie says that ‘Arm’ is a personal favourite off the album. She wrote the song for her husband, JP, a few months before their wedding. “The song reveals a bit about how I feel about our relationship,” Julanie continues. “JP is a man of few words, but when he does speak, his opinions are usually relevant and wise. I also love that he makes me laugh. I can sometimes be too serious. “Jy`s die suiker in my koffie sodat ek nie bitter smaak” translated means “you’re like the sweetener to my coffee and remove the bitterness.”

‘Mooi’ is a love story consisting of 10 original tracks. Julanie says that she is super-proud of this album. “I am grateful to Warner Music South Africa and all the artists and recording -specialists that have worked with me over the past two years. Without them I could not have done this. I am on cloud 9!”
