To further celebrate the release of their new sophomore album, Love & Legehness, Van Pletzen have released the Behind The Scenes footage of the making of the music video for their latest single, Dronk op Liefde. Released on 31 March 2020, the video already has close to 200 000 views.

Another collaboration with Early B, a true master of legehness, Dronk op Liefde is the 6th time Van Pletzen and Early B have worked together on an official release and they hope to do so a lot more in the future! Dronk op Liefde was written in late 2019 with liefde as inspirasie and how being in love is sort of like being a bit dronk – you make strange decisions and sometimes act like a dom fool. Dronk op Liefde is another kak original and kakgroot offering from Van Pletzen, which everyone needs to go luister.

Their music video for Jy Bly Stil is about to hit a million views on Youtube, which is a big milestone for the band! Talking about milestones, the band is excited to announce a kakgroot collaboration with Francois van Coke which will be released in August this year.  They promise that the song will be an epic one that will be at least 5 minutes long and that it will have a bunch of guitar solos and that it will not be suitable for radio because it will be too kakmal, so be sure to kyk uit for the grootness!

Van Pletzen dropped their second album, a groot 15 track epic of bangers and ballads on 3 April 2020. Showing a deeper side to listeners, they explore all corners of the Legehness! Whether it is on the dance floor or while making sweet and beautiful love, this album has got you covered! Brace yourself for a serious dose of Love & Legehness in the form of 15 new songs ranging from serious club bangers to deeply intimate and sensual ballads about the complexities of liefde! Afrikaans has never sounded groter or sexier!

With lyrics such as “There is no race, only mense, there is no taal… only mengels”, Van Pletzen creates a world without rules and limitations where the only race is mense and the only taal is mengels, a legeh mixture of Engels and Afrikaans and whatever else you need to druk yourself uit! A wêreld where legehness and liefde dominates. This is the soundtrack to navigate your dreams to!

Now is the time for the grootness, now is the time for the legehness, now is the time to follow your drome, now is the time to become gereed for Love & Legehness!

Another collaboration with Early B, a true master of legehness, Dronk op Liefde is the 6th time Van Pletzen and Early B have worked together on an official release. Their previous single Jy Bly Stil ft. Jack Parow has racked up over half a million views in under four months.

Dronk op Liefde was written in late 2019 with love as inspiration and how being in love is sort of like being a bit dronk – you make strange decisions and sometimes act like a dom fool.

“I wouldn’t describe the video to anyone – they must just go kyk!” says Van Pletzen. “Kyk and then Become Gereed because the album is coming real soon!”

The video was shot by PJ Kotze at Romeos in Melville, Johannesburg.

Van Pletzen’s brand new album – Love & Legehness – is out on 3 April 2020.
