Escape through Alter Ego's maiden voyage, Verniel My Maar.
Alter Ego is the hottest debut band in Afrikaans music. Consisting of twin brothers, Justin and Darren Oates, the hype on social media and in the press around their first release has been ablaze! Alter Ego worked with award winning producer Denholm Harding to create a fresh, alternative pop sound that has been absent in Afrikaans music. Their songwriting capabilities bring something unique that will no doubt stand out.
Their debut single, Verniel My Maar, shares the deep, vulnerable emotions experienced after a breakup. It expresses feelings of rejection, disbelief, and being out of control, asking the question, “Did everything mean nothing?”. The lyrics convey a real and honest emotional roller coaster from a first-person perspective. This song is relatable in every sense of the word. Anyone who has experienced heartache, will resonate with this song.
Don't hold back, embrace your Alter Ego and add Verniel My Maar to your favourite playlist. Look out for the full album Skree Net Sag that will be released early 2022.
