hange is seldom easy, but it is inevitable and the best thing we can do is to embrace it, which is exactly the message Haylea Heyns<\/strong> wanted to convey with her latest single, COLD WATER<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally written as an Ed Sheeran-style ballad, the up-tempo pop song was co-produced by Durban producers Markus Els and Tom Watkeys and offers a unique blend of catchy melodies and meaningful lyrics that are easy to sing along to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCOLD WATER<\/strong> is a metaphor about embracing change. I am someone who always plays it safe, but lately I have been challenging myself to push the boundaries of my comfort zone,\u201d<\/em> she explains about the track she co-wrote with Tom Watkeys. \u201cEvery time I have taken a step out of my safe space, it has been incredibly scary, but I have grown as a result. The purpose of this song is to encourage people to do the same. It is never pleasant diving into \u2018cold water\u2019, but the feeling afterward is exhilarating.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a more personal level, the song is also about allowing yourself to fall in love for the first time and not resisting a relationship because you are scared to open up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music video for this empowering anthem will be released on 22 April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLD WATER<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>follows the release of her seventh single and music video, Sorry<\/em>, which was very well received and got playlisted on several major radio stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haylea was born and raised in Empangeni and has always been passionate about music. After school she studied BA Music and Drama Performance and graduated Cum Laude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She made her musical debut in 2018 and has had many career highlights since, including being named Durban Artist of the Year<\/em> at the 2021 City Awards, having the honour of singing the South African National Anthem and the British National Anthem at big international rugby matches and working with several SAMA acclaimed artists like Connell Cruise and Mark Stent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to writing and recording music and doing live performances, Haylea is also a published children\u2019s book author, as well as a skilled copywriter and content creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her music can be described as a form of poetry that reflects her own life experiences and emotions, and COLD WATER<\/em><\/strong> is a brilliant example of the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is something incredibly satisfying (and scary at the same time) about sharing your feelings (and your creative work) with the rest of the world. You always want people to like it, but I believe that it should never be your sole focus. As long as I am proud of the material I am putting out there, I am content,\u201d <\/em>she concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haylea Heyns Vier Verandering Met Nuwe Enkelsnit, “Cold Water”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Verandering is nooit maklik nie, maar dis onafwendbaar. Al wat ons kan doen, is om die beste daarvan te maak en dit is presies waaroor Haylea Heyns<\/strong> se nuutste enkelsnit, COLD WATER<\/strong><\/em>, gaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die popliedjie, wat oorspronklik as \u2019n Ed Sheeran-styl ballade beplan is, is deur Markus Els en Tom Watkeys vervaardig en spog met \u2019n lekkerluister-ritme en betekenisvolle lirieke wat jou uitnooi om saam te sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCOLD WATER<\/strong><\/em> moedig jou aan om verandering te aanvaar. Ek is iemand wat nie hou van kanse waag nie, maar daag myself deesdae gereeld uit om buite my gemaksone te tree,\u201d<\/em> verduidelik sy oor di\u00e9 snit wat sy saam met Tom Watkeys geskryf het. \u201cDit is vreesaanjaend om buite jou veilige spasie te tree, maar ek het nog elke keer gegroei as ek bereid was om \u2019n kans te waag. Die doel van hierdie liedjie is om luisteraars te inspireer om dieselfde te doen. Dis nooit lekker om in \u2018koue water\u2019 te spring nie, maar dit is verfrissend.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op \u2019n meer persoonlike vlak, gaan die liedjie ook daaroor om jouself toe te laat om vir die eerste keer lief te h\u00ea en nie vas te skop teen \u2019n verhouding omdat jy bang is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a> Die musiekvideo van hierdie kragtige snit sal op 22 April vrygestel word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLD WATER<\/strong><\/em>volg in die voetspore van haar sewende enkelsnit en musiekvideo, Sorry<\/em>, wat baie goed ontvang is en speeltyd op verskeie groot radiostasies geniet het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haylea het in Empangeni grootgeword en was nog altyd passievol oor musiek. Na skool, het sy BA Musiek en Drama studeer en haar graad met lof verwerf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het in 2018 haar debuut in die musiekw\u00eareld gemaak en sedertdien verskeie hoogtepunte beleef. Nie net is sy in 2021 aangewys as Durban se Kunstenaar van die Jaar<\/em> tydens die City Awards nie, maar sy het ook die voorreg gehad om die Suid-Afrikaanse Volkslied en Britse Volkslied te sing voor groot internasionale rugbywedstryde en om saam met verskeie SAMA-bekroonde kunstenaars, soos Connell Cruise en Mark Stent, te werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy is ook \u2019n kinderboekskrywer, kopieskrywer en inhoudskepper en haar musiek kan beskryf word as \u2018n vorm van<\/p>\n\n\n\n

po\u00ebsie waardeur sy haar lewenservaring en emosies deel. COLD WATER<\/strong><\/em> is die perfekte voorbeeld hiervan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is baie bevredigend (en terselfdertyd vreesaanjaend) om jou emosies (en kreatiewe werk) met die res van die w\u00eareld te deel. Jy wil altyd h\u00ea dat mense daarvan moet hou, maar dit moenie jou hooffokus wees nie. Solank ek trots is op my werk, is ek gelukkig,\u201d<\/em> sluit sy af.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
