On latest single “Secret Keeper” Award Winning musician and composer Thandi Ntuli describes the track as “going back to finding out information about my lineage, where I come from, my personal family history, and in that way learning a lot about history from my family - what I [realised] is that that there's a lot about Africans, our heritage, that is kept from us. And I deliberately say, 'Kept from us,' because we never get this information at school. There is so much wealth in our history, and there's such a sense of connectedness I feel when I know my history a lot deeper—and I think it would sort out so many issues in society, if we felt that connectedness to each other."

With her third studio album ('Blk Elijah and the Children of Meroë') pianist, composer and vocalist Thandi Ntuli begins a journey of self-discovery that picks up where 2018’s Exiled left off. “[In 2020] I was two years into the release of the last album,” she tells Apple Music. “And I was outgrowing the place I was at when I made Exiled; it held space for difficult conversations and difficult feelings—but I didn't want to get stuck in that. I became very intentional about bringing joy back to my life, to my outlook. This album is a continuation and a response to Exiled, and it's sharing little anchors and glimpses of certain things that I felt were responsible for bringing me out of that haze.” Over eight tracks, Blk Elijah and the Children of Meroë journeys through what Ntuli frames as remembering and re-membering. “I like to think of life as cyclical, but I also think that what moves us along is looking back,” she explains. “Re-membering is putting your self together again. I think a lot of people have noticed that about the life that we had accepted as normal, pre-lockdown; there’s a reckoning that you go through when you look back. Along with solely featuring her own vocals across the entirety of the project (rather than her usual slate of guest stars) the album sees Ntuli play piano and synth—and record with the same band she performs with live, for the first time: Sphelelo Mazibuko (drums), Keenan Ahrends (guitar), Ndabo Zulu (trumpet), Mthunzi Mvubu (alto saxophone and flute), Shane Cooper (bass guitar), and Nomphumelelo Nhlapo (percussion)" - Apple Music
