FRANCOIS VAN COKE is releasing the third music video from his self-titled debut album, Die Skip (The Ship), today. The tune may sound upbeat with its cheerful melody, but the song’s leading man is on a self-destructive journey with love as his only lifeline. Laudo Liebenberg joins Francois for a cruise on this three-minute-thirty-second boat party. Watch Die Skip  at https://youtu.be/on16ECaksA4

Francois is the lead vocalist, songwriter and founding member of the South African alternate rock bands Fokofpolisiekar and Van Coke Kartel.
