Anne-Marie van Eeden<\/strong> has one of those remarkable voices that captivates you when hearing it for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the singer-songwriter who currently resides in Switzerland, has become known for her soulful music and fans will be happy to know that the first single from her fifth and upcoming album, have just been released!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WYS MY DIE PLEK<\/strong><\/em> is an emotional ballad about longing for lost love. The poem, written by C. Louis Leipoldt, was transformed into a beautiful song by the artist herself and Helmut Meijer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis poem has always spoken to me on a personal level, and I have been wanting to turn it into a song for a long time,\u201d<\/em> she shares. \u201cI went through a very difficult and painful time when my own marriage ended. Therefore, I believe that the song will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced loss or pain. It has a simple nostalgic melody that stays with you long after the song stopped playing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne-Marie is very excited about the music video for Wys My Die Plek<\/em>, which is about seeking and leaning towards love and previous life experiences, now only a distant memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI currently reside in Switzerland and is surrounded by the most beautiful historic buildings. The century old bumpy walkways of stone and massive cathedrals may capture the memories that I lean to. Everything still looks the same… just like when we were there together way back then… only, you\u2019re not present,<\/em>\u201d explains the artist about the meaning of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beautiful music video was filmed in Anne-Marie\u2019s hometown Montreux, at a beautiful old Chapel overlooking the silver lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe visuals take the viewer to the heart of Europe while the words of Louis Leipoldt echo in Afrikaans, my native tongue,<\/em>\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chantelle Flores, a phenominal videographer from Kzara Visuals, based in Zurich, produced the video while Tania Thompson, based in Montreux, Switzerland, was responsible for style and make-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
