Seasoned Singer-songwriter From Namibia, Sanet Lambrechts’s New Single Will Exceed All Expectations

She’s won three ATKV Awards, released four successful albums, had hits on South African, Namibian, Japanese and American radio stations and created the theme song for the kykNET series, Sing in HarmonieSanet Lambrechts is a seasoned singer-songwriter from Namibia who has been working in the Afrikaans music industry since 2013.

Her main goal is to reach as many people as possible with her music and she has just released a brand-new single that promises to exceed everyone’s expectations!

Written by Julanie J, BINNE EN BUITE is about how people isolate themselves from others by not being themselves. “Sometimes you isolate yourself from people because you are afraid to show who you are, and other times you are amazed about what you can discover about someone without even talking to them,” the singer explains. “I asked Julanie J to write a song about this and was very impressed with what she came up with.”

This pop song was produced by Gideon Botes and boasts a catchy tune and meaningful lyrics that will appeal to listeners of all ages.

Sanet also had a captivating music video filmed for Binne en Buite, directed and edited by Ben van der Walt (Bosman Films), who has just completed his first feature fim called Woestynpsalms. The music video was filmed at Die Tannery, somewhere between Windhoek and Elisenheim. 

“The video was shot in a warehouse and boasts scenes of people in different settings. Sometimes they show who they are and sometimes they keep to themselves. We filmed in the evening and clever lighting techniques were used to create contrast between people’s inner and outer selves,” the forty-six-year-old musician explains. “Sometimes we feel lonely, regardless of the people around us. We do not always show our true colours, because we may not really know each other. Sometimes, however, you are lucky enough to get a glimpse of who someone is without them saying a word.” 

BINNE EN BUITE follows in the footsteps of three 2020 releases; Sien Jy Nie, Alles Wat Jy Is and Hemelse Vader which were all well received and features on her latest digital album, Alles Wat Jy Is.

For Sanet, who grew up on a farm in Gobabis, singing is like breathing. She has been passionate about music since she was a little girl and started taking lessons from a young age. She has also been a backup vocalist for many big stars who performed in Namibia like Bles Bridges, Manuel Escorio, Ronnie Belcher, Hessel van der Waldt and more.

In addition to various music qualifications from Unisa and Trinity College, she also has degrees in Afrikaans and Psychology, as well as a teaching diploma.

After school, she joined M Factor, a popular music group in Windhoek, and also worked as a music teacher to make a living.

Sanet describes herself as a spiritual and secular singer with a strong voice that works well for pop music. She has great admiration for musicians who are unique and creative like Riana Nel, Theuns Jordaan, Karen Zoid, Steve Hofmeyr, Amanda Strydom and Anna Davel and would also love to work with the likes of Joshua na die Reen, Len Muller, Janie Bay and Die Heuwels Fantasties someday.

Over the years, she has achieved numerous career highlights, including two ATKV Award-winning albums (Rooi Kalaharisand and Dorsland), several music award nominations and numerous radio hits locally and overseas. She was also named the Namibian Women’s Association’s Artist of the Year in 2020 and has had the privilege of sharing the stage with big names, including Lianie May, Theuns Jordaan, Elvis Blue, Nianell, Loyiso, Gerhard Steyn, Louis Brits and more.

She is humble and grateful and to keep on singing no matter what. “I feel blessed and grateful for everything I have achieved in my career, and I am excited about the future,” she shares.

The artist currently lives on a farm just outside of Windhoek and enjoys working on her music and preparing for live performances. She still has many tricks up her sleeve, including a short film project for VIA. 

With BINNE EN BUITE she once again shows why she is an artist to be reckoned with in the Afrikaans music industry.

Gesoute Liedjieskrywer Van Nambië, Sanet Lambrechts, Se Nuwe Enkelsnit Gaan Alle Verwagtinge Oortref

Sy spog met drieATKV-toekennings, vier suksesvolle albums, treffers op Suid-Afrikaanse, Namibiese, Japanese en Amerikaanse radiostasies en ’n temalied vir die kykNET-program, Sing in Harmonie. Sanet Lambrechts is ’n gesoute sanger en liedjieskrywer van Namibië wat sedert 2013 al diep spore in die Afrikaanse musiekbedryf getrap het.

Sy is doelgerig om mense met haar musiek te bereik en met haar splinternuwe enkelsnit gaan sy luisteraars verseker laat regop sit!

BINNE EN BUITE, uit die pen van Julanie J, gaan oor hoe mense hulleself van ander isoleer deur nie te wys wie hulle regtig is nie. “Soms voel ’n mens geïsoleerd tussen ’n klomp mense omdat hulle jou nie waarlik ken nie, en ander kere staan jy verstom oor wat jy in iemand anders raaklees sonder dat hulle iets sê,” verduidelik die sangeres. “Ek het Julanie J gevra om vir my ’n liedjie hieroor te skryf en was baie tevrede met wat sy vorendag gekom het, omdat dit nuut en vars is en lekker val op die oor.”

Hierdie popsnit, wat deur Gideon Botes vervaardig is, spog met ’n lekker polsende ritme en sal aanklank vind by luisteraars van alle ouderdomme.

Die kunstenaar het ook ‘n spog-video vir die liedjie laat verfilm deur Ben van der Walt (Bosman Films), ‘n opkomende filmmaker wat pas sy eerste film genaamd Woestynpsalms geskiet het. Die musiekvideo vir Binne en Buite is by Die Tannery buite Windhoek en naby Elisenheim verfilm.

Die video is in ’n pakhuis geskiet en bestaan uit tonele van mense in verskillende omstandighede waar hulle soms hulself wys en ander kere nie. Dit is in die aand geskiet en beligting is slim aangewend om binne- en buitekant van mense uit te beeld,” verduidelik dié ses-en-veertig-jarige musikant. “Soms is ons binne en buite onsself alleen, ongeag van hoeveel mense daar rondom ons is nie. Ons wys nie altyd ons ware kleure nie, omdat ons mekaar dalk nie regtig ken nie. Partykeer is jy egter gelukkig genoeg dat iemand oopmaak of dat jy hulle kan raaklees sonder dat hulle nodig het om iets te sê.”

BINNE EN BUITE volg in die voetspore van drie 2020-vrystellings, Sien Jy Nie, Alles Wat Jy Is en Hemelse Vader wat baie goed ontvang is en deel vorm van haar digitale album (Alles Wat Jy Is) wat ook gedurende inperking uitgereik is.

Vir Sanet, wat op ’n plaas in Gobabis grootgeword het, is sing soos asemhaal. Sy het reeds op skool begin met musieklesse en -opleiding en het gereeld opgetree as agtergrondsanger vir groot sterre soos Bles Bridges, Manuel Escorio, Ronnie Belcher, Hessel van der Waldt en meer as hulle in Namibië getoer het.

Buiten vir musiekkwalifikasies in verskeie instrumente, teorie en sang van Unisa en Trinity College, het sy ook grade in Afrikaans en Sielkunde, asook ’n nagraadse diploma in Onderwys.

Na skool was sy betrokke by M Factor, ’n gewilde musiekgroep in Windhoek, en het sy ook as musiekonderwyser gewerk om die pot aan die kook te hou.

Sanet is ’n geestelike en sekulêre sanger met ’n sterk stem wat goed werk vir popmusiek. Sy het groot bewondering vir musikante wat uniek en kreatief is en vind aanklank by Riana Nel, Theuns Jordaan, Karen Zoid, Steve Hofmeyr, Amanda Strydom en Anna Davel se musiek en sal graag eendag saam met Joshua na die Reën, Len Muller, Janie Bay en Die Heuwels Fantasties wil werk.

Oor die jare, het sy heelwat loopbaanhoogtepunte behaal, waaronder twee ATKV-bekroonde albums (Rooi Kalaharisand en Dorsland), verskeie musiektoekenningbenoemings en talle radiotreffers plaaslik en oorsee. Sy is ook 2020 aangewys as die Namibiese Vroue Vereniging se Kunstenaar van die Jaar en het al die voorreg gehad om die verhoog met talle groot name te deel, waaronder Lianie May, Theuns Jordaan, Elvis Blue, Nianell, Loyiso, Gerhard Steyn, Louis Brits en vele meer.

Sy glo daarin om nederig en dankbaar te bly en aan te hou sing – want waar daar ’n wil is, is daar ’n weg. “Ek voel geseënd en dankbaar vir alles wat ek al op my pad bereik het en moontlik nog gaan bereik,” deel sy.

Tans woon sy op ’n plaas buite Windhoek, waar sy aan haar kreatiwiteit vrye teuels kan gee om aan haar musiek en ander toekomsplanne, wat ’n kortfilm-projek vir VIA insluit, te werk en na hartelus voor te berei vir haar verhoogoptredes.

Met BINNE EN BUITE gaan sy beslis haar plek in musiekharte verstewig en weereens wys hoekom sy reeds so gewild is.

Die liedjie is nou beskikbaar op alle digitale platforms. Laai dit hier af:
