Joshua na die Reën promotes his new album

JOSHUA na die Reën has released his new album, “Die Wêreld Binne My” (The world inside me).

The unique music style and soothing voice of this singer has captivated listeners ever since the first notes of his debut album, “Joshua na die Reën”, in 2014.

Ghoema music awards for Newcomer of the Year and Best Contemporary Male Artist, plus a Huisgenoot Tempo award for Best Newcomer, a Woordfees award for Best Solo Artist and theme songs for various films, television programmes and campaigns, saw the start to a successful career.

His success is celebrated this year with the release of a new album, written and composed by this talented musician.

Lyrics and music that will give you goosebumps best describes Joshua na die Reën’s new album, “Die Wêreld Binne My”.

His velvet voice is surrounded by interesting contemporary sounds and instruments, that were combined with great care to produce an end product that will captivate his fans once again.

“The title song is basically a combination of what I would like to say with every song on the album. That is all-in-one,” says Joshua na die Reën.

”The song themes on the new album differ from the first album, which were about hope and dreams, but this time it’s of a more personal nature and about the world inside each individual.

“The greatest challenge is to always get across the specific emotion of what I feel when I experience the things I sing about.

”So things were done a little differently with this album. A variety of sounds and instruments were used to create the feeling and image we wanted to portray. I am very pleased with what the producer, Ben Ludik, and my brother, Pierre de Villiers, have done with this project. It is seldom that you find people who will give their all and I am very thankful.

The theme songs from the Afrikaans movies, Vir Altyd, as well as Voshaarnooi and Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling, also form part of the playlist.

As an artist, Joshua na die Reën believes that music can express emotion when words fail, as is the case with Die Wêreld Binne My, which forms a collection of moving soulful music that invites you to open your heart and undertake the journey of humanity. This, indeed, can only add to the winning recipe.
