Love can change your life.
It can carry you in difficult times, give you hope for the future and make you happier than you ever thought possible.
This life-changing kind of love was the inspiration behind Rinél Day’s brand-new country single, which fans are going to love just as much as she loves the man it was written for.
Jy Het My Gered is a love song she wrote for her fiancé (now her husband), Shaun Walker, just after they got engaged.
“We met during a difficult time in my life, and he literally showed me that true love and selflessness can get you through any situation,” she said.
“I am grateful for the pillar of support he has been in my life. He really saved my life. Now we are expecting a beautiful baby girl, Emily Anlizé Walker, who is due in October, and I am excited about our future together.”
This single, which perfectly showcases her vocals, is the third release from her popular third studio album, Ek Het Opgestaan, and the singer believes that it will definitely appeal to audiences of all ages.
“The reason I chose the song is that I believe everyone has that one special person who showed them that pain will not win, and that true love really exists. You just have to be patient,” said the Ghoema-nominated brunette.
Capture your heart
Rinél, who was born in Vryheid and grew up in Richardsbaai and Swartruggens, is known for hits like Dit Staan in die Sterre, Ligjare Weg, Een Somersaand (met Henri Alant), DJ Speel Dit Weer, Geluk and more.
Although Covid-19 has been especially hard on the music industry, she is positive and believes things will work out as they should. In addition to writing songs and preparing to become a mother later this year, she also started doing nails at the beginning of the year to earn an extra income.
It has always been important to Rinél to touch hearts with her music and to remain relevant in the music industry. Jy Het My Gered will capture the hearts of local music lovers and is a beautiful celebration of a new and exciting chapter in this versatile musician’s life and career.
