Ahead of his imminent new album, Briewe Uit Die Argiewe, which is due to drop later this month, Bouwer Bosch pens a love letter to his faith in his new track, “Skuiling”.
Keeping things varied this time around, Bosch brings some light hip-hop into the mix to keep things interesting. While, for the most part “Skuiling” navigates a familiar light Afrikaans rock tangent, the verses favour a spoken word (see rap) rhythm which lends some refreshing dexterity to the whole thing.
The track speaks to finding shelter within one’s faith in God – bringing emotive honesty to the table – and the accompanying video, filmed in a wooden warmth of an old church in Richmond in the Northern Cape, keeps that sentiment close. Bosch cuts a familiar figure in the pew, the afternoon sun pouring through the stained glass windows as the intensity escalates with tempered energy.
It’s a refreshing and vibrant twist on a well-trodden genre, as Bosch brings something intrinsically new to the fore once again.
