Francois van Coke to release solo album

13 Jan 2015

Francois van Coke is to release his debut solo album in the beginning of April. He said: "I think it's definitely different from Van Coke Kartel and Fokofpolisiekar. I wanted to do something that is true to myself, very personal and not be restricted to a certain style of music."

Van Coke teamed up with old and new friends to bring the album into being. They are Jedd Kossew, Karen Zoid, Laudo Liebenberg, Hunter Kennedy and Arno Carstens. The album will be released by Supra Familias and will be launched at KKNK in Oudtshoorn, followed by a national tour.

His first single, Moontlik Nooit, will be released from his website as a free download on 20 February. He teamed up with Permanent Record to release a limited edition 7" vinyl with this single and an exclusive B-Side that will be released on the same day.
