‘As ek sing vir hom’
Get your boots ready for praise and worship
For the first time in her music career, country girl Elize Van Niekerk, decided to branch out and do something completely different and unique, which is to combine two genres and make hit songs out of the effort. Her fifth album with 13 tracks is a country gospel album that will wow you.
With inspiration from Nashville and Texas in the US, Elize and her friends put pen to paper and wrote amazing lyrics for the album titled ‘As Ek Sing Vir Hom’. Growing up in South Africa, surrounded by a a musical family, the 60-year-old singer says music comes to her naturally and is something she is very passionate about. Elize has been working on this album since 2014 and only completed it now. “When you’re writing music you have to be sure in your heart that this is truly what you want and that’s what I did. It took me some time, because I made right with the Lord. My next album is strictly good old country,” said Elize.
Elize says she would like to gain the support of everyone to make her album and her voice heard. “I want radio stations to play my music and spread the gospel. I will also enter the NAMAs this year in Best Gospel category. I am very excited,” Elize plans to go on tour in the northern parts of Namibia and other regions in the near future to promote her new album.
The album is available for N$ 100 at Rivals and CLM in Windhoek or from Elize herself.
