										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Espach Duo draai die volume op as die Son sak!</strong></p>
<p><em>Skemer</em>, ‘n nuwe Afrikaanse man- en vrou-duo, het pas hulle heel eerste enkelsnit vrygestel en hulle gaan verseker Suid-Afrikaanse musiekliefhebbers is in rep en roer hê.  <em>Sê dit Harder</em>, wat beskryf kan word as ’n moderne Country-liedjie met ’n pop-aanslag, is soos ’n vars briesie in die bedryf en gaan beslis die radiogolwe oorneem.</p>
<p><iframe title="Sê Dit Harder" width="788" height="591" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dTCijY67Xjc?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></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Sê dit Harder</em> kom uit die pen van die bekende liedjieskrywer, Johan Oberholzer, en moedig luisteraars aan om nie hulle gevoelens op te krop nie.</p>
<p><em>Skemer</em> wat bestaan uit Armand en Andrea Espach, het in 2017 ontstaan nadat die paar op Facebook ontmoet het en nie net verlief geraak het nie, maar ook besluit het om hulle musiektalent te kombineer. Die groep, wat die vrystelling van hul eerste enkelsnit as die hoogtepunt van hulle loopbaan sover beskou, is passievol oor musiek en deel hierdie talent en energie graag op die verhoog met elke optrede. Sedert hulle saam begin musiek maak het, het die duo al by verskeie skole, troues, feeste, restaurante en funksies opgetree en ook een van die internasionaal-bekroonde groep, Prime Circle, se vertonings geopen.</p>
<p>Armand Espach het eers sy passie vir musiek op die ouderdom van een-en-twintig ontdek en besluit dat hy graag in Country wou spesialiseer. Dit het hom nie lank geneem om ’n gereelde gesig op die verhoog te word by kuierplekke in en rondom Polokwane en raakgesien te word deur die mense wat saakmaak in die vermaakbedryf nie. Sedertdien het hy al geopen vir sterre soos Juanita du Plessis en ook in 2010 die verhoog gedeel met Theuns Jordaan by Airport Africa Lodge. Die kunstenaar luister graag na musiek wat hom laat goed voel en verklap dat die bedryf hom geleer het om hard te werk om sy drome waar te maak.</p>
<p>Andrea Espach is die talentvolle vrou agter <em>Skemer</em>, met die strelende stem. Hierdie sielvolle sangeres is gebore om te vermaak en het reeds op veertienjarige ouderdom begin sing en is ook ’n baie goeie danser. In 2016 het sy begin met formele sangopleiding by ADAM se Kyle Grant, waarna sy Copperstone se heel eerste talentkompetisie gewen het. Sedertdien het sy al by verskeie feeste soos Innibos, restuarante en korporatiewe funksies opgetree. Andrea het ’n groot hart vir kinders en sou graag ’n onderwyser wou word as sy nie ’n musikant was nie. Die musiekbedryf het haar geleer om nederig te wees en die geleenthede te gebruik wat na haar kant toe kom.</p>
<p>Met <em>Sê dit Harder</em> word <em>Skemer</em>, se talent in hoofletters aan luisteraars en radiostasies bekend gestel en bewys hulle ook dat dit moontlik is om iets uitsonderlik te skep in ’n musiekstyl wat soms geneig is om gewoon te wees.</p>
<p><em>Sê dit Harder</em> s beskikbaar op alle digitale platforms.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Uit die pen van Hugo Ludik, Reynardt Hugo en Nerine Gardiner, stel <em>ADAM</em> hulle nuutste enkelsnit, <em>Iets In Die Water</em>, bekend.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>“</em>Ek het die inspirasie gekry toe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters die titel van Mej Heelal ingepalm het in 2017. Ek het gedink Suid-Afrika het al so baie skoonheidstitels verower en met al die ADAM-toere, het ons besef dat Suid-Afrika regtig die mooiste meisies het. Die enigste verduideliking hiervoor, moes wees dat daar iets in die water is”, verduidelik Hugo.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hugo en Reynardt het die melodie geskryf en toe die hulp van Gardiner ingeroep om hulle gedagte proses korrek te verwerk en die lirieke vas te pen, sodat die aanslag van die liedjie korrek kon oorkom.  <em>“</em>Iets in die Water was van die begin af een van ons gunsteling liedjies op die album. Die mense dans en sing uit volle bors saam. Dit is ‘n trots Suid-Afrikaanse liedjie<em>”</em>, voeg Reynardt by.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Die liedjie is beskikbaar op <em>ADAM</em> se album, <em>Bewe</em>, wat in 2018 uitgereik is.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>ADAM</em> bestaan uit Hugo Ludik, Reynardt Hugo en Kyle Grant.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Van Seep-Stêr tot Pop-Stêr&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>deur Louw Mulder</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Reynardt-Hugo.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-large wp-image-8111" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Reynardt-Hugo-300x338.png" alt="" width="300" height="338" /></a>Afrikaanse sepies in vandag se Suid-Afrika sorg vir vermaak. Dít is die woorde van Reynardt Hugo, of in Binneland-kringe beter bekend as Dokter Tertius Jonker. “Mense kan met ‘n karakter vereenselwig omdat hulle dalk iemand soos dit ken,” het Reynardt tydens my onderhoud verduidelik. “Dit is ook ‘n medium wat baie uitdagend is, en as dit reg gedoen word, verskriklik baie genot kan verskaf,” voeg hy by.</p>
<p>Reynardt speel die hoof van ongevalle by Binneland Hospitaal, en hy beskryf sy karakter as somtyds konserwatief, maar tog met ‘n effense stoute kant aan hom. “Maar die stoute kant sien ons net nou en dan,” het hy by gelas.</p>
<p>Tertius is die wettige aangenome pa van Daleen se dogtertjie, Nina, en buite baie nood-tonele in Binneland, moes hy self deur die egskeiding met Daleen gaan.  “Tertius se opsie om ‘n meisie te kry, is nou oop,” het hy komies vertel. Ek het ‘n kans gevat om te probeer uitvind wat met Dokter Jonker gebeur in die volgende 3000 episodes, maar al wat ek uit hom uit kon kry, was: “&#8230;dalk ‘n paar liefdesdriehoeke…”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Reynardt-Hugo-2.png"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-8123" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Reynardt-Hugo-2-300x169.png" alt="" width="400" height="225" /></a>In 2008, het Reynardt sy Binneland-loopbaan afgeskop, en vier hierdie jaar ‘n dekade op die stel van kykNet se langste lopende sepie. “Ek het die geleentheid gekry om ander drome te bewaarheid, soos om ‘n <em>band</em> saam met Hugo Ludik te begin,” vertel Reynardt oor wat <em>Binnelanders </em>deur die jare vir sy loopbaan beteken het: “<em>Binnelanders</em> het ook gesorg dat ek by mense kon uitkom en hulle stories te kon hoor. Dit het verseker deure oopgemaak en daarvoor is ek verskriklik dankbaar.”</p>
<p>Al ken ons hierdie dokter meer as ‘n lid van ons land se mees suksesvolle <em>boyband, Adam</em>, het Suid Afrikaners al geleer om onderskeid te tref tussen die popstêr, Reynardt Hugo, en die dokter van Ongevalle, Tertius Jonker.  Vir Reynardt, aan die ander kant, is <em>Binnelanders </em>‘n realiteit: “Dit is net ‘n storie, en my verantwoordelikeid strek vanaf die leer van die dialoog tot om op stel te wees,” sê hy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Reynardt-Hugo-3.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-8125" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Reynardt-Hugo-3-300x278.png" alt="" width="323" height="300" /></a>“Om net by die sepie te kan werk is self &#8216;n hoogtepunt,” vertel Reynhardt vol selfvertroue. “Alles wat saam met dit gaan, elke toneel, elke bietjie lag op stel en die geleentheid om saam met ongelooflike akteurs te kan werk, maak deel daarvan uit. Dít is en sal altyd my hoogtepunt en herinnering wees,” voeg hy by.</p>
<p>Maar toe ek oor sy laagtepunte vra, het meneer Hugo met eerlikheid geantwoord: “Ek dink as ‘n mens nie jou beste gee nie, nie op jou <em>game</em> is die dag nie, ervaar jy ‘n laagtepunt. Dit gebeur maar met almal.”   Verder, gee Reynardt Hugo ‘n bietjie raad, ondanks hierdie laagtepunte: “Om elke dag so te fokus en te konsentreer, is van uiterse belang.”</p>
<p>Na ‘n dag in die Ongevalle, gaan Reynardt Hugo huis toe, en gaan aan met sy lewe. <em>Binnelanders</em>, soos wat hy erken, is baie toegeeflik as dit kom by sy rol in <em>Adam</em>: “Dit is as gevolg van <em>Binnelanders</em> wat ek ‘n tweede loopbaan in musiek het,” sê hy, as hy verduidelik dat sy gewildheid as alledaagse sepie-stêr, die hupstoot was wat die groep nodig gehad het.  <em>Adam</em>, die groep waaronder Reynardt saam met Ludik en Kyle Grant die Afrikaanse klanke herdefinieer, is onlangs vrygestel, en is saam met sy rol in <em>Binnelanders </em>‘n getuienis van die liefde wat Reynardt Hugo vir die vermaaklikheidslewe het.  <a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/adam-bewe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lees meer oor <em>Adam </em>se nuutste album, hier.</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Aan Binnelanders vir julle 3000ste Episode:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Ek wil baie dankie sê dat iemand die potensiaal in my raakgesien het om deel van hierdie ongelooflike span te wees.  Dit is as gevolg van julle dat ek ‘n loopbaan het.  Julle het my geleer dat ek nie beter as enige iemand is nie.  Dankie Binnelanders dat julle my bygestaan het in moeilike tye.&#8221; &#8211;  Reynardt Hugo.</em></p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Afrikaans, met verwerkings wat jou sal laat glimlag van lekker kry.</strong></p>
<p>deur Louw Mulder</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Adam-Bewe-R1.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7735" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Adam-Bewe-R1-298x300.png" alt="Adam se CD, Bewe" width="298" height="300" /></a>Ten spyte van al die <em>bewe</em> en skeef-loop van &#8216;n paar drankies te veel, was daar groot partytjie gehou tydens die vrystelling van <em>Adam</em> se nuutste album, <em>Bewe, </em>wat die afgelope naweek by Weiveld, in Pretoria die lig gesien het. Om die musiek op hierdie album lewendig te ervaar, was alles wat nodig was in die resep vir &#8216;n rowwe, tog onstspannende aand uit.</p>
<p>Saam met <em>Stage and Screen</em> se media vriende, asook die wonderlike vennote by <em>Starburst Promosies</em>, <em>ADAM</em> se publisiteitspan, was die hele skare op &#8216;n baie genotvolle manier aan die nuwe musiek van hierdie trio bekend gestel, wie bestaan uit Reynardt Hugo, Hugo Ludik en Kyle Grant. Daar was tot kullende liedjies op die speellys, soos <em>Eden</em> se <em>Knieë Lam,</em> en hulle eie weergawe van <em>Luis Fonsi</em> en <em>Justin</em> Bieber se <em>Despacito. </em> <em> </em></p>
<p>Die pad terug Johannesburg toe, het my genoeg kans gegee om <em>Bewe </em>kliphard te speel, en tog is hierdie album dus perfek vir die lang pad. Op hierdie album, is daar vyftien snitte, waarondermeer die treffer vanaf hulle EP saam met Daniel Baron, <em>Say What You Want</em>, hulle indrukwekkende liedjie wat uit 16 000 inskrywings uit 130 deelnemende lande, as finalis gekies is vir die <em>International Songwriting Competition, </em>wat in Nashville, Tennessee gebaseer is.</p>
<p><iframe title="ADAM - Sê My" width="788" height="443" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Sl4PxjuRZ20?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></p>
<p><em>Vaderland, </em>heel moontlik een van my persoonlike gunstelinge op hierdie album, het &#8216;n tradisionele gevoel, saamgevleg met &#8216;n <em>Folk Genre</em>, met hulle insluiting van &#8216;n <em>Tempo rubato</em>, wat versoorsaak dat hierdie snit &#8216;n paar keer uit lekkerkry herhaal word. <em>Vaderland</em>, dui op die vuur van ons land wat weer aangesteek word na soveel dinge daardie vuur blus.</p>
<p>Tydens <em>Bewe</em> se vrystelling, het ek die voorreg gehad om met die <em>Adam Threesome</em> te kan praat oor hierdie nuwe uitreiking, en hulle het juis meer agtergrond oor snitte soos <em>Vaderland</em> verduidelik: &#8220;Adam is al 8 jaar oud, en dus meer volwasse, en meer politiek gedrewe, met &#8216;n emosionele patriotisme, wat uitgekom het van goed wat ons self deurgegaan het&#8230;&#8221; het Kyle verduidelik.</p>
<p>Die radio in die kar het uiteindelik kans gekry om die derde snit op <em>Bewe</em> te speel. <em>Goeie ou dae, </em>&#8216;n nommer wat soos al die ander hierdie drie manne se harmonie vermoeëns <em>af show</em>, is weereens &#8216;n Adam <em>original</em>, waar die wysie baie vinnig aangeleer word, en in die kop vashak. Met verwerkings wat regtig my onbewustelik op die hoofweg laat versnel het, is hierdie treffer een wat baie dieper betekenis het as wat op die eerste indrukke gedink mag word.</p>
<p>In my <em>chat</em> met die drie, het Kyle verduidelik dat met elke album verstaan hulle meer wat hulle mark en hulle aanhangers wil he. &#8220;Ons <em>mission</em> is om &#8216;n balans te kry tussen waarvan ons mense hou, en waarvan ons hou, en dit dan met mekaar te verbind.&#8221;</p>
<p>En met die, was dit tyd op die CD vir die titelsnit, <em>Se My (Bewe), </em>wat &#8216;n liedjie is wat gaan oor &#8216;n mengelmoes van <em>cheesy</em> <em>Pick-up lines.</em> Met &#8216;n inleiding wat bestaan uit staccato klankie van die klavier, word hierdie snit nogal vinnig van vooraf gespeel, om weer na die lirieke te luister. Die tempo van hierdie snit is nogal vinnig, en die verwerking is so vol en groot, dat ‘n mens mooi na die lirieke moet luister tussen die musiek en die harmonieë.</p>
<p>Vir my was dit ‘n briljante idee van die manne van <em>Adam</em>, om &#8216;n drie-teen-een <em>collaboration </em>saam met Kyle se vrou (Elizca Coetzer) op te neem. <em>Kalmeer</em>, &#8216;n snit wat met die volle verwerking, asook met &#8216;n akoestiese verwerking twee keer op <em>Bewe </em>verskyn, is my nommer een op hierdie CD&#8230; Die wysie, en die baie mooi harmoniese verwerking tussen drie mans, en &#8216;n baie sterk, kragtige vroulike stem, het &#8216;n hoendervleis uitwerking op my gehad, met lirieke wat ek dadelik agtergekom het was oor en oor geskryf, om die regte woorde, spesiaal deurdunkte terme te kry, wat sorgvuldig by mekaar gerangskik is, om die lierieke van <em>Kalmeer</em> so diep te maak, soos onder meer hierdie uittreksel: &#8220;<em>Ons trek nou swaar, Maar ons was al daar, Lewenslesse daaruit geleer, sterker weer teruggekeer&#8230; Ons was al hierdeur&#8230; Ons weet hoe om dit deur te maak, die Swaarkry het heel gemaak&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Toe ek [Hugo] hierdie liedjie geskryf het, het ek dit as &#8216;n duet gehoor. Weens die inhoud van die lirieke, was dit vir ons &#8216;n moeilike keuse,&#8221; het Hugo, skrywer van <em>Kalmeer</em> tydens ons vinnige geselsie verduidelik: &#8220;Dit is toe dat Kyle voorstel dat ons dit saam met sy vrou op neem. As ek nou terugdink, sidder ek om te dink hoe dit sou uitgedraai het met iemand anders.&#8221; het Hugo hulle heel perfekte keuse sonder rede verduidelik.</p>
<p>Die ander samewerking op <em>Bewe, </em>is die twee snitte <em>Hyg</em> en <em>Ken jou Waarde, </em>wat saam met die gesogte <em>rap</em> kunstenaar, of soos Reynardt Hugo ons taalgebruik reggehelp het, &#8216;n &#8220;Kletsrym Kunstenaar&#8221;, opgeneem is. &#8220;Ons het <em>Early B</em> toevallig eendag op &#8216;n TV program ontmoet. Hy is &#8216;n ongelooflike kunstenaar van Port Elizabeth af, en die <em>genuinste</em>, baie talentvolle kunstenaar, wat <em>amazing</em> is om mee te werk.&#8221; het die trio saam met mekaar gestem. Volgens my, nie mal oor kletsrym nie, is hierdie twee snitte baie goed ingesluit om balans aan <em>Bewe </em>te gee.</p>
<p>Ek het &#8216;n paar jaar terug &#8216;n baie gunstige resensie geskryf oor <em>Adam</em> se EP saam met Daniel Baron, en juis daaroor was ek nogal opgewonde met die akoestiese insluiting van hulle raakvattende liedjie, <em>Say What You Want. </em>Ek het dus juis as gevolg van hierdie vroeer sukses, dit met die hierdie <em>boyband</em> bespreek, en hulle antwoord het vir my, iemand wat breed glimlag as mense grense probeer verset, nogal hoop gegee vir hoër hoogtes vir <em>Adam:</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Wat hierdie album anders maak, is dat die klanke deur internasionale invloede geinspireer is, so ons wil graag weer &#8216;n Engelse album uitbring. Met hierdie internasionale invloede, en nie vir enige ander rede nie, probeer ons in pas bly met internasionale klanke. Ons is trots op Afrikaans, maar ons het soveel musikale kreatiwiteit in ons wat ons wil uitbring, en hierdie gaan verder as net Afrikaans.&#8221; Hulle het vir my sin gepraat, maar vinnig my net weer gerus gestel: &#8220;Afrikaans bly ons eerste en gunsteling taal om in te sing!&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Bewe</em> is &#8216;n uitmuntende produk van unieke en oorspronklike werk, verwerkings van &#8216;n ander wêreld, met harmonieë wat die eintlike komposisie &#8216;n totale ander dimensie gee.</p>
<p><em>Bewe </em>is nou beskikbaar, en volgens my, &#8216;n lekker-luister-lysie van goeie Afrikaanse Musiek&#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ADAM stel eerste enkelsnit,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Hoogtevrees,</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>van-af nuwe album bekend! </strong></p>
<p>Na drie suksesvolle albums en ‘n kortspeler saam met Daniel Baron, is die popgroep ADAM kliphard aan die werk aan hul volgende album, <em>Hoogtevrees</em>, wat teen die middel Augustus 2016 op die rakke sal wees.  Hugo Ludik, Reynardt Hugo en Kyle Grant is die drie lede van die groep.</p>
<p>Goeie nuus vir stoere aanhangers van die groep is egter dat die titelsnit van die album nou reeds as ‘n enkelsnit uitgereik word.</p>
<p><iframe title="ADAM - Hoogtevrees" width="788" height="443" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nl3TZP7HpPg?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></p>
<p>Die meeste mense sal kan identifiseer met die liedjie <em>Hoogtevrees</em>, vertel Hugo Ludik wat dit saam met sy sangmaat Reynardt Hugo geskryf het. <em>“Dit gaan oor ‘n romantiese verhouding wat by ‘n kruispad kom en jy dan wonder: wat nou?”  </em>Dikwels sal ‘n mens dan die verhouding in twyfel trek en wonder of dit gaan werk of nie. Hugo verduidelik dit is dan dat jy soms maar net jou oë moet toeknyp en ‘n geloofsprong maak.<em>“Jy moet van die verlede vergeet en op ‘n skoon bladsy begin,”</em> is sy advies.</p>
<p>Hy beskryf <em>Hoogtevrees</em> as ‘n <em>“polsende popliedjie met ‘n vinnige tempo waarop jy lekker sal kan dans”</em>.</p>
<p>Oor die uitreiking van die volledige album in Augustus is die manne net so opgewonde. Hugo vertel dat hulle twee jaar lank aan hom gewerk het, en daarom is dit beslis die album met die sterkste liedjies op. <em>“Dit is in ‘n tipiese ADAM-styl waaraan ons ondersteuners gewoond is. Ons het daardie fondament behou maar tog ook ‘n paar nuwe klanke ingebring,”</em> verklap hy.</p>
<p>ADAM is sekerlik een van die mees produktiefste groepe vandag in Suid-Afrika. Na hul eerste album, <em>Adam</em>, in 2011 verskyn het, het hulle <em>Vir jou gemaak</em> (2012) en daarna <em>Goud</em> (2014) uitgereik. Al drie hierdie albums het goue status bereik.</p>
<p>In 2014 sing hulle die liedjie <em>Sal oorlog vir jou maak</em> in die plaaslike lokettreffer-fliek, Pad na jou hart, wat ‘n oornag-sukses vir hulle word. Dit boer nie net op die treffersparades nie, maar ontvang ook ‘n Huisgenoot Liedjie van die Jaar-nominasie asook ‘n Ghoema-toekenning vir Liedjie van die jaar.</p>
<p>Ander Ghoema musiektoekennings op ADAM se kerfstok sluit in Beste Nuweling (2011) en Groep van die Jaar (2015).</p>
<p>Verder tree hulle vir drie jaar agtereenvolgens (2012 – 2014) by die Huisgenoot Skouspel in die Sun City Superbowl op.  ADAM skuur ook skouers met internasionale kunstenaars. Hulle open vir die Ierse groep, Westlife, in Namibië (2011) en vir die Australiese rockgroep, Air Supply, tydens hul Suid-Afrikaanse toer (2014).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>‘So, spring gou op en kom nou saam, dat ons die Nuwe Seisoen ingaan…’</em></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Deur Jaco Lotriet</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Die immergewilde Weiveld op die buitewyke van Bronkhorstspruit het Saterdagaand 17 September opnuut gegons met die vrystelling van Adam se nuwe CD, getiteld <em>Hoogtevrees. </em>Die manne mag dalk aan <em>Hoogtevrees</em> lei maar hul optrede was vreesloos, verstommend, uitsonderlik melodieeus en alom fantasties. Rynardt Hugo, Hugo Ludik en Kyle Grant het gewis gewys wat in hulle steek… die Weiveld se fondamente het gekraak; die dak het gelig. Die gehoor het hulself oorgegee aan Adam.</p>
<figure id="attachment_4337" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4337" style="width: 425px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4337 size-medium" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-2-425x239.jpg" alt="Adam by die Weiveld. Foto https://twitter.com/Weiveld " width="425" height="239" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4337" class="wp-caption-text">Foto van Adam op stage van Die Weiveld se Twitter Blad</figcaption></figure>
<p>The 3 man band celebrates 6 years in the music industry and already have 3 records under their belt, each having reached gold status. Their debut album <em>Adam</em> was released in 2011, followed by <em>Vir Jou Gemaak</em> only one year later, <em>Gold </em>in 2014 and now, the eagerly anticipated <em>Hoogtevrees. </em> Each member of the band has carved their own niche individually on the South African entertainment scene over the years and this translates into the lads unashamedly and collectively releasing a burst of energy onto their unsuspecting crowd, as was evident at the packed venue.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4338 size-medium" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-3-200x300.jpg" alt="Adam" width="200" height="300" /></a>Die vertoning het afgeskop met die openingssnit op die CD, <em>‘n Nuwe Seisoen – </em>‘n hoendervleis-wekkende drie-deel harmonie wat vanuit die staanspoor hul professionele, dog gemaklike styl ten toon stel. Adam is welbekend vir hul vokale bekwaamheid en hulle het hoegenaamd nie teruggehou of teleurgestel nie, wat dit aanbetref. <em>‘n Nuwe Seisoen</em> het moeiteloos oorgevloei in die titelsnit, gekenmerk deur die polsende ritme en stygende koor wat die aanhangers duidelik op hul voete gehad het. Die Weiveld se beligting en klank was oudergewoonte uit die boonste rakke en ongetwyfeld ‘n bykomende element wat die kunsstenaars se gepoleerde produksie tot groter hoogtes geneem het.</p>
<p>The night delivered a string of songs from their rapturous repertoire, both new and old, but the one that stood out most for me, was a new single called<em> Vergifnis, </em>penned by Ludik and Hugo. Deep, moving and thought provoking, this heavenly example of adult contemporary music at its best, was surprising, to say the least. One cannot help but wonder what goes through the writers’ minds while they meticulously chip away at the structure of the song, during the writing process. Needless to say, it all culminated beautifully in a well-rounded, bone chilling composition that stirs the soul, deep within. Both musically, as well as lyrically. Apart from the obvious Afrikaans lyrics, the overall appeal of this song in particular, invokes feelings one may associate with international productions – such is the power of this particular track and a recipe one would hope Adam continues with, in coming releases.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-5.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-4340" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-5-311x300.png" alt="Adam" width="225" height="217" /></a>The evening had a few other surprises in store. The odd cover version showcased what could perhaps be seen as their influences, bearing in mind they compose their own songs. I personally have deep admiration for this, as the creative processes involved in song writing can be a very long, drawn out process, from inception, to the final cut that makes it onto the CD and eventually, on stage. The band’s hard work is clearly holistically evident in this production. Their creativity seems to know no bounds – even the subtle use of saxophone on <em>Dis Al Wat Ek Het, </em>attests to this. There are many more examples but its best you put your headphones on and be carried away. Is that a banjo I hear on <em>Diep Uitgekerf</em>?</p>
<p>The songs are powerful individually. Strung together and listening back to back, the universal theme of love comes to the fore, however, this theme is nuanced by the uncertainty that goes hand-in-hand, as we all know and can associate with. Contributing artists on the album include Vaughan Gardiner, Raymond Green and Brendan Ross, all leaving their indelible mark on this production.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4345" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Adam-Launch-5-300x300.jpg" alt="adam-launch-5" width="225" height="225" /></a>Terug op die verhoog, en Adam se optrede voel na meer as ‘n uur van ononderbroke sang asof daar geen einde is, aan wat gesien kan word as ‘n bodemlose put van energie, nie. Hulle gaan net eenvoudig aan en aan, meëdoenloos. Genotvolle brokkies inligting aangaande die liedjies tussen-in en ‘n amper skaamtelose geskerts met die gehoor deurgans, is verfrissend. Adam klink goed, lyk goed en is vol vertroue op die verhoog. Netjies afgerond. Stylvol. Ontspanne.</p>
<p><em>Hoogtevrees </em>feels invigorating, individualistic and pensive, both on CD and most certainly live. This Ghoema awarded trio of musicians is a must-see. Catch their live performance dates at their online site or on Facebook. <em>Hoogtevrees </em>is available at Musica stores countrywide, as well as on I-Tunes and is Afrikaans easy listening at its best.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Louw Mulder</p>
<p>So what do you get when Afrikaans Boy Band meets Former Idols Top 10 Finalist? You get an EP Album that can easily be put on repeat.<a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Young-and-Wild.jpg1_.jpg"><img data-dominant-color="aa9a93" data-has-transparency="false" style="--dominant-color: #aa9a93;" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-2474 not-transparent" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Young-and-Wild.jpg1_-298x300.jpg" alt="Young and Wild " width="250" height="251" /></a></p>
<p>A successful project like this is not to be underestimated, seeing that you have Daniel Baron, who opened for Bon Jovi in 2013, and Adam, the award winning Boy Band who opened for Westlife and Air-Supply in 2011 and 2014 respectively, collaborating to create this very unique sound.</p>
<p>The EP consists of 7 Tracks, starting with their first hit that was released on the 6<sup>th</sup> of June 2015, <em>Say What you Want, </em>and ends with the acoustic version of the same song. The 5 songs in between, are gems in its own right, and I would say a few more single releases can come out of it.</p>
<p>Except for the track <em>You</em>, which came from the pen of Joy N. M. Deb, Robin Stjernberg, Linna M. H. Deb and Joakim H. Haukaas, all the songs on the EP were written by Hugo Ludik and Daniel Baron, who performed together as session musicians even before Ludik started Adam, who now consists of himself, Kyle Grant and Reynardt Hugo.</p>
<figure id="attachment_2470" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2470" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Louw-Daniel-and-Adam.jpg"><img data-dominant-color="918278" data-has-transparency="false" style="--dominant-color: #918278;" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-2470 not-transparent" src="http://www.stageandscreen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Louw-Daniel-and-Adam-300x203.jpg" alt="Louw Mulder with Daniel Baron, Kyle Grant, Hugo Ludik and Reynardt Hugo " width="300" height="203" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2470" class="wp-caption-text">Louw Mulder with Daniel Baron, Kyle Grant, Hugo Ludik and Reynardt Hugo during the launch of Young and Wild</figcaption></figure>
<p>It will be impossible for me to pinpoint the genre of this EP to one specific style. <em>Say what you want, </em>has the feel of Mumford and Sons, whereas the title track, <em>Young and Wild, </em>reminds me of Indecent Obsession, from my own younger and wilder years.</p>
<p>My Favourite song on the EP, and also their latest release, <em>How, </em>is in turn a ballad, showcasing four handsome harmonies, together with the pitch-perfect use of their Falsetto voices, which will surely see this single as number 1 on the charts, in no time.</p>
<p>So, in my humble opinion, I have to say something negative. Why is it, that when you are just enjoying an album like this, made proudly in South Africa, you come to the end of it after only 7 songs? There should be more to come, especially when something that is this original, and something that could potentially become a definitive sound of South African Pop, can steer SA music in a totally new direction.</p>
<p>Maybe if I am lucky, they will do a cover of Indecent Obesssion’s <em>Strawberry Lips,</em> dedicated to Stage and Screen, when they are recording their second, full track album.</p>
<p>The seven tracks are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Say what you Want</li>
<li>You</li>
<li>How</li>
<li>We Made it</li>
<li>Young and Wild</li>
<li>City of Dreams</li>
<li>Say what you Want (Acoustic)</li>
</ol>
<p>All songs were produced, arranged, programmed and mixed by Robin Kielly, except <em>City of Dreams, </em>which was produced and recorded at Muse Studios.</p>
<p>The EP <em>Young and Wild</em> is now available on iTunes, and the Apple Music Store, as well as in a close-by music shop. The EP is marketed and distributed by Universal Music Group.</p>

<p>He opened for Bon Jovi during their 2013 <em>Because We Can</em> world tour in South Africa and regularly performs in the UK and US. He has won Wawela Music Award for ‘Best Male Artist &amp; Composer’ and was nominated for ‘Best Soundtrack in a Feature Film or Theatrical Documentary’. He recently released his smash hit, <em>Indestructible,</em> off his brand new album <em>Apollo,</em> which is currently burning up the airwaves around the country.</p>
<p>They opened for Westlife during their 2011 tour in Namibia and for Air Supply during their 2014 tour in South Africa. They have been winning South African Ghoema and Huisgenoot Tempo Music awards since 2011 and regularly perform at the biggest Afrikaans festivals and shows around the country. Their self-titled album achieved gold status during 2013 and they have just been nominated for another Huisgenoot Tempo award for their music video GOUD from their latest album, <em>GOUD, </em>which is due to reach gold status any day now.</p>
<p>South African award-winning and chart-topping singer/songwriter and pop/rock/dance artist, Daniel Baron and the popular award-winning Afrikaans pop group and singer/songwriters, ADAM (Hugo Ludik, Reynardt Hugo and Kyle Grant) have joined forces for this hit collaboration!</p>
<p>Their very first international single, <strong><em>SAY WHAT YOU WANT</em></strong><em>, </em>released with a bang to South African audiences on 6 June 2015. It has already been released in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg by the European record label, Red Bullet, in early May 2015 and will soon be released to the rest of Europe.</p>
<p>The single played exclusively and for the first time on radio on 6 June 2015 and moved to the #13 position on the SA iTunes chart within a couple of hours after release! The music video will release on 8 June 2015.</p>
<p>The song was written by Hugo Ludik and Daniel Baron for no particular project or reason – only for the sake of putting two creative heads together and seeing what comes from it. The result is: <em>SAY WHAT YOU WANT</em>.</p>
<p>“<em>The choice to do the song together as a collaboration didn&#8217;t take much thought or time. Both Daniel and ourselves identified with every single part of the song &#8211; from the lyrics to the melody and production &#8211; and felt that our musical strengths combined would turn this song into a big hit, as well as a song we can be proud of. We are hoping that this song will get as much airplay worldwide as it deserves” </em>says Hugo Ludik – founder of the group ADAM.</p>
<p>Daniel Baron says: “<em>I&#8217;ve known Hugo Ludik for a couple of years now. Before the ADAM group formed, we used to perform together as session musicians in different bands. Very recently we caught up and decided to co-write a song. We sat down for 2 hours and came up with &#8220;Say What You Want&#8221;. It&#8217;s the perfect collaboration song for both myself and ADAM because it carries elements of both our sounds, and it also crosses over to new genres. It&#8217;s been incredible to work with ADAM. They are true professionals and true rock stars.”</em></p>
<p>Say what you want… but this single is a big hit!</p>
<p>The single is also available on iTunes.</p>
