They say good things come to those who wait. This is definitely true about the iconic singer-songwriter, Anton Goosen\u2019s long-awaited new album, which has just been released and is set to exceed his fans\u2019 expectations.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The beloved Liedjieboer, Anton Goosen said he has worked on, researched, and recorded on the album over a long period of time. “We \u2013 Peter Pearlson, my engineer-maestro friend, guitarist Illimar Neitz, bass guitarist Schalk Joubert, and drummer Kevin Gibson \u2013 began recording the first two tracks at the end of 2022. The rest were completed throughout 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anton describes the album\u2019s music styles and compilation as diverse. \u201cIt ranges from ballads about love and sometimes loneliness, from the esoteric to ghoema, and from serious protest rock from Illimar\u2019s strings to smoky blues. But overall, it\u2019s a new cohesive sound, unlike any of my previous albums.\u201d<\/p>\n

The popular artist shares that only after the album was completed did he realise that the title should be Sirkels<\/em>. \u201cThe concept figuratively circles through the entire album,\u201d he explains. \u201cPeter and I have been working together since 1987, and he\u2019s used to me getting \u2018a late thought on the highway\u2019 after completing an album. This time it was the final part of the last song, when I thought again of Jean-Baptiste Karr\u2019s words \u2018the more things change, the more they stay the same\u2019, in other words, the circles of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe songs on the album revolve not only around love and life but also the circles of time, on the water, around pole dancing, eagles, and the struggle between good and evil, peace and war, meaning and hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sirkels<\/em> boasts nine new songs, including three poem composition \u2013 Bly by my, (my lief)<\/em> and \u00carens is jy by Antjie Krog<\/em>, as well as Apollo 11<\/em> (Space Station Houston) by DJ Opperman. It also includes two duets, with Lise Swart and Zolani Mahola from Freshlyground, respectively.<\/p>\n

The first single from the album, Bly by my, (my lief)<\/em> \u2013 which he composed for the Woordfees \u2013 has been very well received since its release in May. The album\u2019s cover design was done by Carel de Beer from Onelove.<\/p>\n

Anton was born in the Karoo in 1946 and grew up in Kroonstad. Kruidjie-roer-my-nie was his first single to achieve commercial success. His first album, Boy van die suburbs, was also a hit in 1979.<\/p>\n

This living legend, widely regarded as the father of Afrikaans rock, has released more than 20 albums, written music for various films \u2013 including \u2019n Brief vir Simone<\/em> (1980), Die Laaste Tango<\/em> (2013), and Siembamba<\/em> (2017) as well as songs for famous artists, including Laurika Rauch, Richard Clayderman, Sonja Herholdt, Carike Keuzenkamp, Koos Kombuis and more. His latest album, 40 jaar: Liedjieboer Innie Langpad<\/em>, was released in 2019.<\/p>\n

Throughout his decades-long career as a songwriter and singer, he has been honoured with various awards, including SAMA, Innibos, and FAK awards for his lifelong contribution to music.<\/p>\n

In addition to the release of Sirkels<\/em>, he is working on several concert performances this year, as well as a four-episode documentary with filmmaker Niel van Deventer.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s not busy with his music, he enjoys spending time \u2013 and a glass of Cape red wine \u2013 with his beloved Estie and their four dogs, walks on the beach, conversations with friends, and watching series on Netflix or Britbox.<\/p>\n

Sirkels<\/em> is masterfully crafted and offers a delightful listening experience for young and old. It is now available on all digital streaming platforms. Get it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
