Rinél releases third album

SA – Rinél Day also known as Rinél Coetzer is a South African singer and songwriter from Johannesburg, Gauteng. She is engaged to the love of her life, Shaun Walker, and has been working in the music industry for more than a decade.

This talented singer won her first singing competition at the age of 10 and released her first self-titled Ghoema-nominated album (Best Pop Album by a Female Artist) in 2012. It was very well received and delivered twenty-two number one radio hits, including Een Somersaand (ft. Henri Alant), DJ Speel Dit Weer, Geluk and many more.

Her second album, Dit Staan in Die Sterre, was released in 2014 and was equally successful. It received a Ghoema nomination for Best Contemporary Album by a Female Artist.

Ek Het Opgestaan, her third studio album was released in 2020 and boasts a combination of fifteen catchy country-pop tracks that already captured the hearts of music lovers across the country. The album consists of fifteen tracks, specially formulated to complement her soothing voice. Rinél wanted to select music that fans could relate to and believes that Jy’t My Gered and Hier Om Te Bly will be very popular, just like the first single taken from this album, Ek Het Opgestaan.

Rinél drew a lot of inspiration for the music on the album from her own life. “The songs I write are based on true events and emotions. The title track basically shares how I rose from brokenness and got to where I am now. Gyselaar is about my divorce and Jy’t My Gered was written for my fiancé who saved me from the darkness of depression,” she explains. “I want my album to give listeners hope that they are able to reclaim and enjoy their lives, no matter what happened in the past.”
