‘Coffee in The Morning’ is a song about finding oneself reconnecting with a former lover. After plucking up the courage to go outside and begin one’s healing journey in the single, ‘Baby Vuka’.  In the single, Zimkitha narrates the story of revisiting a past relationship (spinning the block). The lyrics of the song unpack the process of how one falls back in love by metaphorically unpacking the conversation using coffee, tea, and Hennessy. 

The ‘coffee’ in the morning is a metaphor for the cordial conversation between exes that turns into ‘tea’ in the afternoon which is a metaphor for the intimate, transparent conversation about how life has been to ‘Hennessy’ in the evening which is a metaphor for trusting the poetry of the moment and each other, enough to open up about personal thoughts, feelings, letting go of pride and above all, connecting.

Produced by K.Fresh, ‘Coffee In The Morning’ serves as an extension of Zimkitha’s authentic storytelling in which she intentionally mixes IsiXhosa and English languages over a Jazzy Neo-Soul inspired by the sonics of the South African jazz of the 1970s. It is a core representation of her staying true to her sound and honouring the set tone of ‘Baby Vuka’ for ‘The Black Enigma’.
