Sharing that with people is incredibly special to me,\u201d<\/em> she explains. <em>\u201cI think the essence of the song is something that we all go through at some point in our lives, the lonely part of growing up, and I also think that we all just want to know that we\u2019re not alone in how we feel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>STAD VAN VERLANGE <\/em><\/strong>follows in the footsteps of <em>Duisend Jaar Van Nou<\/em>, which was very well received and secured her three nominations at this year\u2019s Afri-Indie Independent Artist Awards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">River\u2019s debut album, the culmination of her hard work and dedication to her craft, is now also available on digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Download it here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/jaidriver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/linktr.ee\/jaidriver<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>VERLANGER<\/em><\/strong> provides a journey through a diverse range of genres including pop and adult contemporary music. The theme of the album is longing, with each song exploring a different type of yearning, whether it\u2019s for people, places, clarity or a dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWe all long for something, and this album is a reminder to live in the moment and cherish the people and places around us,\u201d<\/em> she shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jaid wrote all the songs on the album except for <em>Gee Nie Om Nie<\/em>, which she co-wrote with Jaco Smit. When asked about her favourite tracks, the musician cites <em>Verlanger<\/em> for its powerful lyrics and personal significance and <em>Stilte<\/em>, which she wrote about the peace she experienced at the Karoo Stilfees in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album was produced by Jaco Smit and Gideon Botes, and recorded over the course of almost two years. <em>\u201cMaking this album was one of the most enjoyable things I\u2019ve ever done in my life and doing it with friends made it even better\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jaid, whose real name is Jeanlie Minnie, was born in Potchefstroom and raised in George.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young singer-songwriter started performing in 2016, at the age of seventeen, initially playing at markets and restaurants.
