With his gripping poetic lyrics, unique sound and passionate stage presence, South Africa\u2019s latest rock sensation \u2013 Zaan Sonnekus<\/strong> \u2013 has managed to impress local music enthusiasts from the get-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now they have even more reason to celebrate, because his long-awaited debut album has finally been released!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Pretorian, with his long dark hair and artistic collection of tattoos, ZONNEBLOM<\/strong><\/em> is a very personal album. \u201cThe content was inspired by various aspects of my own life,\u201d<\/em> he explains. \u201cThe challenge was to find the right sounds and words to make it universal and keep it personal. It is a puzzle of the experiences I have had so far in my short time on earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This alternative Afrikaans album was created over the last eight months with Tertius Human of Coolerbox Brothers and consists of twelve magical original tracks that captivates listeners from beginning to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the songs (accompanied by impressive music videos), Ek Kan Net Bid<\/em> and Hoog<\/em>, have already been released earlier this year and caused quite a stir in the Afrikaans market. Both can be heard on national radio stations and are charting on several hit parades. A third song, Tienerkwaad<\/em>, was also recently taken from the album and released digitally with an amazing music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
