Christiaan Baartman Releases Inspiring, Upbeat, New Single

It is not always easy to let go when a relationship is over. But it is definitely necessary if you want to move on with your life. This is the powerful message Christiaan Baartman wants to convey with his latest single.

AS HY VIR JOU NOG LIEF WAS is a folk pop song, written and produced by the artist himself, that will appeal to anyone who has ever had their heart broken.

In the past, I have always struggled to let go when a relationship is over. Then I realized that there are many other people with the same problem – especially when the other person in the relationship has already given up,” the Huisgenoot Tempo and Ghoema acclaimed musician explains about the meaning behind the lyrics. “This made me realize that the longer you take to let go, the longer it will take to find your perfect match.”

This catchy song is the singer’s thirteenth release in three years and follows in the footsteps of chart toppers like Net ’n Bietjie, Stof, ’n Vriend Soos Jy (a duet with Mack Rapapali), My Vrou and Die Beste Deel.

The singer-songwriter is currently working with Mack on his latest single, which focuses on the non-profit organisation, Step by Step. In addition to his work in studio, he is also studying psychology and plans on releasing more music later this year.

Christiaan has been involved in the music industry for around two decades and released his first album in 2008 at the age of nineteen.

Over the years, he has had many highlights in his career, including winning several music awards; producing a children’s album with Leon Jonkman; progressing to the final rounds of Idols SA in 2006; opening for Smokie in 2012; performing at Huisgenoot Skouspel in 2007 and more.

AS HY VIR JOU NOG LIEF WAS is a catchy song, with a positive message that is typical of Christiaan’s style and approach to life. “We are allowed to perform again, and I am embracing it. We have a lot to catch up on after the pandemic and now is the time to work hard and plan for the future,” he concludes.

The song is now available on all digital platforms. Download it here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/christiaanbaartman/as-hy-vir-jou-nog-lief-was


Christiaan Baartman Leer Om Aan Te Beweeg Wanneer ‘N Verhouding Verbrokkel In Nuutste Enkelsnit

Dit is nie altyd maklik om te aanvaar en te laat gaan wanneer ’n verhouding nie uitwerk nie. Tóg is dit nodig vir jou eie beswil, sodat jy kan aangaan met jou lewe. Dít is die kragtige boodskap wat Christiaan Baartman graag met sy nuutste enkelsnit aan luisteraars wil oordra.

AS HY VIR JOU NOG LIEF WAS is ’n folk-popliedjie uit sy eie pen en ateljee, wat lekker val op die oor en sal aanklank vind by enigiemand wat al ’n liefdesteleurstelling moes verwerk.

In die verlede het ek altyd gesukkel om te laat gaan wanneer ’n verhouding nie uitwerk nie. Toe begin ek sien dat daar baie mense is wat met dieselfde probleem worstel – veral wanneer die ander persoon in die verhouding net nie meer moeite doen nie,” verduidelik die Huisgenoot Tempo- en Ghoema-bekroonde musikant oor die inspirasie agter die lirieke. “Dit het my laat besef dat hoe langer jy vat om aan te beweeg, hoe langer gaan dit vat om jou perfekte pasmaat te vind.”

Hierdie pragtige lied is die sanger se dertiende enkelsnit in drie jaar en volg in die voetspore van nommer-een-treffers soos Net ’n Bietjie, Stof, ’n Vriend Soos Jy (’n lekkerluister-duet saam met Mack Rapapali), My Vrou en Die Beste Deel.

Tans werk dié sanger en liedjieskrywer juis weer saam met Mack aan sy nuutste enkelsnit, wat die fokus gaan plaas op die nie-winsgewende organisasie, Step by Step. Verder is hy ook besig om sielkunde te studeer en nuwe musiek te skryf, en beplan hy om nog ten minste twee enkelsnitte uit te bring later vanjaar.

Christiaan is al byna vir twee dekades in die musiekbedryf doenig en het sy eerste album in 2008 uitgereik. Oor die jare, het hy baie hoogtepunte bereik waaronder verskeie musiektoekennings, ’n kinderalbum saam met Leon Jonkman; om die finale rondte te bereik op Idols SA in 2006; om vir Smokie te open in 2012; sy optrede by Huisgenoot Skouspel in 2007; en vele meer.

AS HY VIR JOU NOG LIEF WAS is ’n opgewekte liedjie, met ’n positiewe boodskap, wat kenmerkend is van Christiaan se styl en uitkyk op die lewe. “Ons beweeg weer in ’n seisoen waarin ons mag optredes doen en ek maak die beste daarvan. Daar is besonders baie om op te vang na die pandemie, so nou is dit tyd om hard te werk en te spaar,” sluit hy af.

Die liedjie is nou beskikbaar op alle digitale platforms. Laai dit hier af: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/christiaanbaartman/as-hy-vir-jou-nog-lief-was
