Jacques & Liezel’s “Wonder Van Kersfees” A Must For Your Christmas Playlist

Since making their debut in November this year, the brand-new duo, Jacques and Liezel, have gone from strength-to-strength.

The release of their second single, WONDER VAN KERSFEES, not only promises to feature on music lovers’ Christmas playlists, but will most definitely strengthen their place in the South African music industry.

According to the pair, this upbeat gospel song (written by the artists themselves) is about God’s gift to His children – Jesus, the true Wonder of Christmas.

“We both love the Christmas season and festive songs and wanted to write something that we share in our hearts,” they explain. “Christmas is the commemoration of Jesus’s birth, but we forget that He was born for a reason … to be crucified and to die for our sins. His destiny was the cross, His purpose true love and His reason … you!”

The track was produced by Jattie de Beer of Artistry Productions and promises to resonate with audiences of all ages. “We think people will like the song, because it is a fresh, new and upbeat Christmas song in our beautiful mother tongue. It is not about ‘jingle bells’, reindeer or snowflakes, but about the real reason for Christmas – family and friends coming together to celebrate Jesus’s birth with grateful hearts,” they share.

WONDER VAN KERSFEES follows in the footsteps of their first original song, Uit My Hande, which has been a major career highlight for them thus far. “Our debut single was well received by various radio stations, as well as the public. We have received positive feedback and a lot of messages from people telling us how much it meant to them,” says the duo.

Jacques Schoeman and Liezel Marshall met about nine months ago when he bought music equipment from her on Facebook. They became good friends and decided to make music together. The rest is history.

Jacques enjoys restoring old cars and owns Iron Horse Customs, which specializes in motorcycles whilst Liezel manages her own company that does digital content creation.  She was also part of the gospel group, Onbeskaamd, and has produced a Ghoema-nominated album.

Jacques and Liezel want their music to reach as many people as possible and are already working on their next single, which is scheduled for release early next year. 

With WONDER VAN KERSFEES they want to remind listeners of what is really important. “Jesus is the true ‘Wonder of Christmas’ and we want to celebrate it with everyone. There is so much to be thankful for, even in the difficult times we are currently experiencing,” the pair concludes.

“Wonder Van Kersfees” Deur Jacques & Liezel Gaan ‘n Besliste Gunstelling Wees Op Almal Se Kersmusiekspeellys

Sedert hulle in November vanjaar hul debuut gemaak het gaan die splinternuwe duo, Jacques en Liezel, net van krag-tot-krag.

Daarom het hulle besluit om musiekharte warm te laat klop hierdie feesseisoen met die vrystelling van hulle tweede enkelsnit, WONDER VAN KERSFEES, wat beslis ’n gunsteling gaan wees op almal se Kersmusiekspeellys.

Volgens die musiekpaar, gaan hierdie opgewekte geestelike snit (uit hulle eie pen) oor God wat Jesus – die ware Wonder van Kersfees – vir Sy kinders gegee het.

Ons is albei mal oor die Kersseisoen en -liedere en wou iets skryf wat ons harte deel,” verduidelik hulle. “Kersfees is die herdenking van Jesus se geboorte, maar ons vergeet dat hy gebore is vir ’n rede… om gekruisig te word en te sterf vir ons almal se sondes. Sy bestemming was die kruis, Sy doel ware liede en Sy rede… jy!”

Die liedjie is vervaardig deur Jattie de Beer van Artistry Productions en beloof om aanklank te vind by gehore van alle ouderdomme. “Ons dink mense sal van die liedjie hou, omdat dit ’n vars, nuwe en opgewekte Kerslied is in ons pragtige moedertaal. Dit gaan nie oor klingelende klokkies, takbokke of sneeuvlokkies nie, maar oor die ware rede vir Kersfees – samesyn vir familie en vriende, terwyl ons met dankbare harte Jesus se geboorte vier,” deel die twee.

WONDER VAN KERSFEES volg in die voetspore van hulle eerste oorspronklike lied, Uit My Hande, wat vir hulle ’n groot loopbaanhoogtepunt was sover en baie positief ontvang is. “Ons debuut-enkelsnit is met ope harte ontvang deur verskeie radiostasies, asook die publiek. Ons het nog net goeie terugvoer gekry en heelwat boodskappe van mense wat vertel hoe baie dit vir hulle beteken het,” sê hulle.

Jacques Schoeman en Liezel Marshall het mekaar sowat nege maande terug ontmoet toe hy, deur middel van Facebook, musiektoerusting by haar gekoop het. Hulle het dadelik gekliek, goeie vriende geword en besluit om saam musiek te maak en só het ’n splinternuwe duo ontstaan waarvan ons nog sommer baie in die toekoms gaan hoor.

Jacques geniet dit om ou motors te restoureer en hy is ook die eienaar van Iron Horse Customs wat spesialiseer in motorfietse terwyl Liezel haar eie besigheid bestuur wat spesialiseer in digitale inhoudskepping. Sy was ook vir ‘n paar jaardeel van die groep Onbeskaamd en het al een Ghoema-benoemde album op haar kerfstok.

Tans is dié musikante se doel om soveel as moontlik van hulle eie musiek met die wêreld te deel en werk hulle reeds aan hulle derde enkelsnit, wat vroeg in 2022 beskikbaar sal wees.

Met WONDER VAN KERSFEES wil hulle luisteraars graag herinner aan wat belangrik is. “Jesus is die ware ‘Wonder van Kersfees’ en ons wil dit graag saam met almal vier. Daar is soveel om voor dankbaar te wees, selfs in die moeilike tye wat ons tans beleef,” sluit die paar af.

Dié enkelsnit is nou aanlyn beskikbaar, kry dit hier: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/jacquesandliezel/wonder-van-kersfees
