Yet, we seem to have lost the art of conversation and truly engaging with one another on an emotional level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her brand new single, PRAAT, local singer Chere\u00e9 addresses this issue. It\u2019s been 10 years since her last solo album, and South Africa\u2019s own Country Girl has a lot to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wrote this song because I feel that people don\u2019t really talk to one another anymore,\u201d she says. \u201cI wanted to remind people that they are never alone, and that prayer is powerful; if you have nobody to talk to, He is always there to listen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chere\u00e9 - Praat\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gv5OTa0e8iM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The song stems from a very personal experience. \u201cA friend once typed up a letter in which she told me everything I was doing wrong in our relationship. She sat next to me while I read it, and although I was grateful for her honesty, I was angry that she never talked to me about the issues. On my way home that day I got the inspiration for PRAAT and, by the time I arrived at home, I had nearly finished the lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she reviewed the lyrics, she realised something. \u201cEvery word in the song carried a message that I wanted to share with my husband, my children, my family and my friends \u2013 that they are never alone. We live in an age where technology has taken over and we have stopped talking. It is the biggest mistake in any relationship. We must talk about things, good and bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As her first self-released track, Chere\u00e9 is immensely proud of PRAAT. However, it is because of the powerful message it conveys that she has chosen to release it as a single. \u201cFor me, personally, the song carries a powerful message and I hope that everyone who listens to it will take something away from it. I want people to know that they are never alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chere\u00e9 believes that the song will truly resonate with people. \u201cIn PRAAT I share a piece of my heart, and I believe that my message will ring true for many people,\u201d she explains. \u201cWhile everyone will be able to associate with the theme of the song, it will have a different meaning for each person. Ultimately, I want the song to make people think and feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Production for PRAAT was done by Vaughan Gardiner and Hugo Ludik, and the result is an upbeat, catchy pop tune that you can listen to over and over.  It is the first single of Chere\u00e9\u2019s new \u2013 and yet unnamed \u2013 album, due for release on 31 May 2019. While it will have an overarching country feel, the album will also include several pop songs to broaden its appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PRAAT is the perfect addition to any music lover\u2019s playlist and one of her best songs up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The single is available on all digital platforms and can be purchased here: <a href=\"https:\/\/umgafrica.lnk.to\/praat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/umgafrica.lnk.to\/praat (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/umgafrica.lnk.to\/praat<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We live in a time where the world is more connected than ever.
