Rainbow Revisited is a collaborative studio album by South African musician Thandi Ntuli and American composer and producer Carlos Niño, released on 17 November 2023, through Ndlela Music and International Anthem Recording Company.
The album mainly consists of piano and Ntuli's voice, and was recorded in two days in a studio Venice Beach, California.
[3] Mojo called it "a brave, stand-alone release that lays her talent bare" and "a beautiful unreal entrancement you'll find hard to stop listening to again and again".
[5] Pitchfork's Piotr Orlov felt that it "edits down such big-budget ambitions", calling the music "spare, laser focused on those incandescent gospel melodies that feel like a Mzansi jazz birthright, and on ways to minimally ornament them for a broader, internationalist (Anthem and otherwise) audience".
[4] Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote that "this glorious, vulnerable set offers pure collaborative inspiration at once strident and vulnerable, minimal, and aesthetically expansive" and felt that Niño's "layered ambient sounds find Ntuli's synths offering various flute voicings and soothing unidentifiable sounds as she whisper/scats into the mysterious sounds".
