Johannesburg, South Africa (01 April 2026) \u2013<\/em> We don\u2019t really need to introduce Kurt Darren in South Africa. His music has been part of our lives for decades, whether you realise it or not. But this week on \u201cGood Things with Brent Lindeque\u201d, we got to sit down with the man behind the hits and talk about the journey that brought him here.<\/p>\n Music has a way of bringing people together and Kurt has been doing exactly that for years. From the middle of the 90s, when he first started making waves, to becoming one of the most recognisable names in Afrikaans pop, he has built a career on connection, energy and songs that people carry with them long after the music stops playing. His tracks have become staples at celebrations, road trips and everything in between, creating shared moments that feel uniquely South African.<\/p>\n In studio, the conversation moved through the different chapters of his career, from those early days trying to find his sound, to the big stages and defining milestones that followed. Kurt spoke openly about the highlights that have shaped him, the lessons learned along the way, and the gratitude he still carries for being able to do what he loves for so long. There\u2019s a groundedness to him that makes it clear this journey has never been taken for granted. Of course, we also spoke about what\u2019s new, and that\u2019s where his latest track, \u201c6 7\u201d, comes in. The nostalgic, feel-good anthem is already sparking mixed reactions online, which, in many ways, is part of what makes it so interesting. People are talking, sharing, creating, and engaging with it in their own ways, especially as snippets of the song start finding their way into videos across social media.<\/p>\n Kurt shared just how much he\u2019s been enjoying that response, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve loved the reception so far\u2026 seeing people use the teaser in their videos and make it their own has been incredible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He explained that at its core, 6 7 is about rediscovering youthful joy. It\u2019s about letting go, being present and remembering what it feels like to enjoy something without overthinking it. In a time where life can feel heavy and fast, the new track offers a small but meaningful reminder to come back to that lighter side, the one that laughs a little louder and dances a little longer.<\/p>\n What an honour to have had Kurt in studio. There\u2019s something special about someone who never loses sight of why they started. Kurt has held onto that love for music through every season of his life, and in doing so, he\u2019s given so many of us a soundtrack to ours.<\/p>\n\n
