On NOVEMBER 25th Groef released their first ever Christmas single titled: “Kerst Met Jou”. Guitarist and singer Thomas was asked about how the song originated. We did not have any intention to record a Christmas song, since we are very busy working on our new CD. However, when a friend asked me why we never recorded a Christmas song with Groef, it triggered me to write one. The song took about three days to compose, reccord and produce. We love the sound and feel. It definately by the Beatles, mixed with our own vibes and sound. Its about celebrating Christmas with your loved ones and remembering the ones we lost. We are super happy with the result”
