Cape Town - On 7 April 2015, Francois van Coke kicked off his solo career with a bang with the launch of his self-titled debut album and the release of Toe vind ek jou featuring Karen Zoid.
Fast forward a year and a half and this music video has over 2 million views and Francois is back in studio to record his sophomore solo album, Hierdie is die Lewe (This is the Life).
Sheldon Yoko tracked the drums for the album at Red Bull Studios in Cape Town this week. As of next week the rest of the instruments and vocals will be recorded and produced by Johnny de Ridder (Fokofpolisiekar guitarist) and Rudolph Willemse (Francois van Coke bassist) at Soft Light City in Bellville.
Francois says that "the recording of the second album is already going smoother than the first one. I’m working with my band, Die Gevaar, on all the tracks. They had a bigger hand in the writing process this time round. We are taking things slow so that we have more than enough time to make something fantastic."
The first single from the upcoming album is Mensdom (Mankind). This single and music video will drop on 10 November 2016. As of this date the single will be available as an instant gratification when pre-ordering Hierdie is die Lewe on iTunes.
The Mensdom single, plus another track from the album, Klein Prys (Small Price) will also be released by Permanent Record on a 7” vinyl from 10 November. It will be on sale at shows and via the Permanent Record online store.
Francois’ second full length album will be released on the 2 February 2017.
