More than sixteen years in the music industry, various music awards and nominations, numerous number one hits on the radio and various albums with multi-platinum sales, have secured Nicholis Louw a permanent place in the South African entertainment industry. Therefore, he believes that their version will also be very well received. ”Īccording to the singer, WORLD IN UNION with lyrics written by Charlie Skarbek and melody taken from the middle section of Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, a movement from Gustav Holst’s The Planets is such a popular song throughout the world. I think she is one of the best upcoming artists in the country and that she has a very bright future in the local music industry. “Liezel Pieters is one of the few female vocalists who can really sing this song. This year’s Rugby World Cup tournament provided the perfect opportunity to do so and I hope that our version will blow audiences away,” Louw explains about his decision to record this single. “ WORLD IN UNION is one of those big, epic songs that I have always wanted to cover. With the Rugby World Cup vastly approaching, it is only fitting to support this historic event with a song that has become synonymous with victory and reconciliation.Īcclaimed and versatile super star, Nicholis Louw, and the highly gifted and talented singer, Liezel Pieters, have joined forces to release a heartfelt cover of the 1995 PJ Powers and Lady Smith Black Mambazo hit, WORLD IN UNION (previously recorded by Kiri Te Kanawa), which will not only satisfy the most critical ear, but will also transport listeners back to a time when this trophy brought hope to our nation. Nothing brings a country together more like sports and good music.
