"Om Lig te Maak", a vibrant and transformative musical journey unlike anything they’ve done before. With 13 quintessential tracks, this album not only celebrates light and positivity but also showcases the duo's most musically rich and ambitious project to date.

Two Years in the Making – A Collection of Light and Sound
Nearly two years in the making, "Om Lig te Maak" is the product of countless hours of dedication, collaboration, and creativity. Featuring an all-star lineup, the album includes contributions from some of South Africa's finest artists: Spoegwolf, Jack Parow, Droomsindroom, Early B, Emma B, and even the legendary Kaptein himself, Kurt Darren. Each track is a celebration of light, transformation, and connection.

The album title, "Om Lig te Maak", carries layered meaning:

• To create light – Symbolising hope and positivity in difficult times.
• To brighten perspectives – Using humor, energy, and music to lift the spirits.
• To inspire new beginnings – Celebrating the journey of transformation and growth.

Drawing inspiration from their own poem about "making light," VAN PLETZEN invites fans to embrace the themes of beauty, resilience, and joy that run throughout the album:
"It’s hard to make light – but you must.
It’s sometimes sad to bring light – but it’s needed.
Create light – big or small – and share it freely."

A Sonic Evolution
"Om Lig te Maak" marks an exciting evolution for VAN PLETZEN, blending their signature humor and satirical edge with deeper musical richness and lyrical depth. “This is our proudest work yet,” the duo shared, “and we can’t wait for fans to experience this special music.”

A Collector’s Dream
Adding to the excitement, the album’s cover art was designed by the celebrated artist Jean de Wet. For diehard fans, a limited-edition vinyl pressing will be available, making "Om Lig te Maak" the ultimate collector’s item and a must-have for music lovers.

"Om Lig te Maak" is more than an album—it’s a call to action to embrace light, laughter, and love. The band encourages fans to listen, share, and take part in this musical celebration.
