Good Hope FM Christmas

It’s A GOOD HOPE FM CHRISTMAS!

Contemporary music has always played a huge role in the celebration of Christmas – for years Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas’ was the biggest-selling single of all time. In more recent years John & Yoko celebrated world peace with ‘Happy Xmas’ (War Is Over) and Band-Aid raised millions for starving people in Africa with ‘Don’t They Know It’s Christmas’. These are just a few examples of how pop music has played a positive role at Christmas time.

Now, Cape Town’s premier radio station, Good Hope FM, has rallied some of Cape Town’s leading artists and invited them to make their own personal contribution to Christmas through music. The result is stunning beautiful and heart-warming. There are new versions of old festive chestnuts – plus brand-new compositions – all performed in a joyous Christmas spirit – celebrating Christmas …and Cape Town.

The beauty of Christmas meets the beauty, peace and good-will of Christmas in this truly wonderful collection of songs by some of Cape Town’s finest – made all the more special by the fact that Good Hope FM is sharing this spirit and love with all the people of Cape Town …all those who live here – and all those who visit from all over the world.

We wish you truly Happy Christmas!

CapeTown Sound: …We’re getting WICKED!

Edith

E D I T H ….we’re getting down and getting WICKED! …EDITH’s ‘Love Is Wicked’ is tearing up the airwaves – having kicked off on KFM in CT, it is now spreading it’s wickedness around the country. Everyone who hears – and SEES EDITH – is struck Wicked! This girl is beautiful – and seriously hot! Cool, if you know what we mean … Her debut CD ‘WICKED!’ will hit the stores very soon now – it’s currently in production at the factory. Ten blistering tracks await you …and her version of the classic-oldie ‘Come On A My House’ with brand new hip-hop outfit 44 is destined for the world charts! No doubt about it. Edith has arrived, South Africa get ready …

C H A R L  S T O N E …our new Afrikaans/English singing star is also about to be unleashed. His first English track “Believe Again’ is great pop – at it’s very best! The song was co-written by Ron Keating, and is so strong. Equally cooking is CHARL’s first Afrikaans outing, the dance-floor smash, ‘En Sy Se’. If the whole of South Africa (and Oz, NZ, Ldn, etc …) are not singing this by Christmas, we’ll return our coriander-spiced boerewors!

Chad Saaiman

C H A D  S A A I M A N …sexy, handsome young CHAD has just stripped (partially, he assures us!) for a calends shoot of SA’s Sexiest Men. Meanwhile, he just gets hotter on the airwaves …’Seeing Stars’ is around the country, following hot-on-the-heels of ‘Moving On’- and now HEART 104.9 in Cape Town have added the incredibly catchy ‘Won’t Change’…sparing another run on CHAD. He is currently in the CapeTown Sound studios with his group, cutting brand new tracks for his ‘RePackaged’ CD – due soon …

ALSO on the AIRWAVES …Thabo Mdluli’s ‘Slow Down’ (produced by Dr Victor, and written by Patric van Blerk & Natasha Simonne) ….’Bounce!’ by Déjà vu (Southern Buzz) ….PAUL PETERSEN’s ‘Come Closer’ – an English interpretation of RINGO’s massive hit ‘Sondela’….’Call Off the Search’ by LLOYD JANSEN (Stereotype) …..BYRON CLARKE’s …’In the Grey’ (Stereotype) ….JESSICA DUDLEY’s ‘Opportunity’ (on Christian stations) …DJ KEITH’s ” I Want You Back’ ….
