RoriSang releases new single, Motswedi

- BY KELETSO THOBEGA

Sultry songstress Rorisang Emeldah Kelatile, popularly known as RoriSang, recently dropped a new single titled Motswedi.

The song was produced by renowned producer, Charles Favi Motsemme.

RoriSang recently told Vibe that the song has a metaphoric­al meaning in the sense that she was inspired by the concept of overcoming a dry spell in one’s life, only to later experience joy.

“Where I come from in Kanye, there is a spring (motswedi) behind our house which had run dry for several years but recently started flowing again. As I watched the water trickling down the hill after many years of the area being parched, and seemingly barren, the vegetation besides it started to flourish a few days after that, and the ground was pulsing with life. “This experience correlated with an experience in my life, where after many years of feeling emptiness and nothingnes­s, a certain event had triggered renewed joy and positivity in my life, and sprung me back to life. This is when I started writing the song in 2019, fusing it with my experience­s.”

RoriSang said the creation of the song was a beautiful process, particular­ly as she and Favi explored different harmonic styles/rhythms, in order to produce a melodic sound that gives a magical physical experience as well. “The idea was for people to not only hear the song, but feel through it as well. I want the listener to take from my experience­s, and learn that even after a period of ‘drought’ in any aspect of your life, go sena nko e tswang lemina… at some point, things will work out and get better because ga go ke go senyegela ruri.”

The RnB singer, who has been making music for the past eight years, said she is ready to step out of her comfort zone by dabbling in other music genres. “I bring a soulful flair and undertone to any song, and I’m to grow musically.” For updates and to follow RoriSang’s music journey, Facebook and Twitter @ RoriSang77­7 and rorysang on Instagram.
