This album is my way of expressing thoughts and emotions that I have about two very important concepts: Faith and identity. The word ‘El Roi’ is one of the many names for God in the bible. It means ‘God of Sight’ The title binds together these two themes well. ‘God’ refers to faith and ‘sight’ refers to how one is seen and perceives the world around you.

This album is a continuation of the spiritual message stated in my debut album ‘Faithful One’.

The Visual Language of ‘El Roi’

What makes these records distinctive is not only the music but also artwork design. This album reunited Sultan and Lottie Mac for a deeper delve into the relationship between improvised painting and improvised music. 

The colour and tone of the artwork for ‘El Roi’ is darker and more intense than that of Sultan’s debut album ‘Faithful One’ It reflects that of the music, Sultan’s compositions in ‘El Roi’ are much alike ‘Faithful One’ but darker and more exploratory. He wanted this to be conveyed in the visual language of the release.
