In a Moment

Released in 2008, In a Moment encapsulates Meri Kenaz's early development as an artist. It explores the passions and frustrations of life through poetic lyrics and creative guitar playing. She is self-taught and owes her development largely to a love for creative exploration. This, together with her passion for creative word arts, is perhaps what makes Meri Kenaz's music so unique. "Port Elizabeth artist Meri Ké [Meri Kenaz] shows great diversity on her independently released album In a Moment. Opening track First Rule is a funk rock track with a singing style bordering on rap, like Wendy Oldfield’s Acid Rain. The trombone on the girl power track Good Enough gives it a jazzy feel, while the guitar work on Love in the End is more like a blues song. There’s also spoken word poetry on In a Moment, while the tortured ballad Waiting is like a cross between Alanis Morissette and Leslie Rae Dowling." - Leon Muston, The Herald 20 Feb 2009

Branches Single cover

Branches, released in March 2010 is the first in a series of four singles that will systematically make up Meri Kenaz’s second album. Apart from giving a sneak preview of the upcoming album with three songs, each single contains prints of original drawings by Meri Kenaz. Each copy is hand packaged in an innovative fabric cover, stamped with original artwork by Meri. They are numbered, since all the singles are a limited edition and will be discontinued once the full album comes out.

Branches was recorded with Howard Butcher (recently nominated for 3 SAMA awards) at Peace of Eden Studios, situated in the Knysna forests of South Africa. Meri recently toured the single in a national tour linked with internationally acclaimed Blues musician, Dan Patlansky.
