Lianie May. The Queen of Weekend Anthems
If Afrikaans music had a playlist for road trips, kitchen dance-offs, and heartfelt singalongs, Lianie May would be on every single one. Since stepping onto the scene in the late 2000s, she’s become the go-to voice for anyone who enjoys a mix of country charm and pop melodies. Her lyrics somehow understand exactly what you’re going through.
Naweeklyfie
Lianie isn’t just about pretty tunes. She’s got personality, and her songs feel like catching up with an old friend over a cup of coffee (or a brandy and Coke, depending on the occasion). Whether she’s making you laugh with a cheeky weekend anthem (Naweeklyfie) or tugging at your heartstrings with a ballad like Vergeet My Nie, her music always hits the right spot.
She’s also a master at capturing the spirit of small-town South Africa. The kind of places where gossip travels faster than WiFi and the local butcher knows your order by heart. Tracks like Ditjies & Datjies celebrate the little joys of life. Iemand Om Lief Te Hê reminds us that deep down, we all just want someone to hold our hand (and maybe bring us biltong).
Karoo Sunset
But don’t think she’s only here for the everyday moments. When December rolls around, Lianie transforms into Santa’s Afrikaans spokesperson with her holiday album Kersfees Met Lianie. Whether you’re putting up a Christmas tree or just looking for an excuse to eat more trifle, she’s got the soundtrack covered.
She has a voice as warm as a Karoo sunset and songs that feel like home. Lianie May continues to be one of Afrikaans music’s most beloved artists.
A weekend with Naweeklyfie blasting in the background will always be fun, no matter how you look at it.
