Listen to Chané Valentine with ‘Plekkie in die son’
Chané Valentine is a promising young singer from South Africa. She has recently released her latest single and video clip for Plekkie in die son (Place in the sun). The song is a melodic upbeat and catchy pop song with a strong production. Chané’s vocals are confident and very clear and are perfect for this type of song. Plekkie in die son is written by Juan Boucher and is produced by Byron Keno.
Chané is very versatile and she not only a singer but is an actress and model and presenter. You can read more about her at her official website www.chanevalentine.com .
I am sure lots of Eurovision fans will like her style of music. You can check out the video clip for Plekkie in die son below.
