In 2020, Hinds self-released his second solo album, A Thousand Hearts, this time working closely with his uncle and lyricist, Keith Erasmus on two stand out tracks, ‘Sadness in the Wind’, and ‘A Thousand Hearts’. And later in 2020, Wren Hinds released a seven-track EP, A Child’s Chant for the New Millennium, a handful of songs recorded in his childhood home, highlighted by yet another noteworthy writing union with Keith Erasmus on the opening three tracks.
In 2021, Wren Hinds’ solo work caught the attention of British record label Bella and subsequently, the UK label has signed a record deal with the South African songwriter which will encompass the release of all three backlog albums as well as future works by Hinds
to be released on the Bella Union label. After signing to Bella Union, Hinds was approached by London publishing house, Faber Alt , who signed a full publishing deal with the South African export.
