Die Eindste is back with a new single
Jou Optog which is set to top the success of their previous release.
Benoni rock group Die Eindste made quite the impression with the release of their first single earlier this year.
Now they are back in the spotlight with a brand-new song, Jou Optog, which is set to top the success of their previous release.
The track, written by frontman and acoustic guitarist André Faurie, is about the fear of social rejection and the impact it can have on your life and self-confidence.
“The song tells the story of someone who does not have the confidence to pursue the girl of his dreams because of social anxiety. This causes her to reject him and choose someone else,” Faurie explained.
“He waits around, in the hope that she will change her mind even though he knows they are not meant to be.”
Described as alternative rock, the song boasts a catchy tune and meaningful lyrics that will appeal to audiences of all ages.
According to Faurie, the message behind the single is that listeners should stop basing their worth on other people’s opinions and be happy with who they are.

“There is always hope that things will get better once your self-confidence improves. That is why we say in the song that someday the guy might muster up the courage to pursue the girl again,” he said.
A music video is planned for early next year and will be filmed by Bow Tie Media at a lighthouse in the Western Cape.
Jou Optog is the second single off their debut album, Grys, which was produced by Markus Els of Mark7Studios.
Grys was deliberately chosen as the title to serve as a metaphor for the emotions depicted in the songs.
“It is a dark colour, with a little bit of hope.”

Despite facing many challenges and obstacles, they are proud and relieved to finally be able to share their album with fans.
Die Eindste, whose name originated from a conversation between the group members, was formed in 2019, when a group of school friends decided to make music together.
They consider the release of their debut album as one of their biggest career highlights so far and plan on releasing another one soon.
