Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Sahasrara is named after the crown chakra, a Sanskrit word symbolising a gateway to higher consciousness. Staff Writer GOSEGO MOTSUMI reports on Dato\u2019s deeply personal and therapeutic project<\/b><\/p>\n

With her latest release, \u201cSahasrara,\u201d Katlego Ntirang offers listeners a soul-stirring journey of healing and spiritual awakening.<\/p>\n

Released with Warner Music Africa, Sahasrara is a deeply personal single named after the crown chakra, a Sanskrit word symbolising a gateway to higher consciousness.<\/p>\n

For Dato \u2013 who is better known as Dato Seiko \u2013 this song is an emotional testament to rising above pain without letting it turn to bitterness, showcasing her unique blend of vulnerability and strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cA soft diss track\u201d<\/p>\n

Dato Seiko describes Sahasrara as a \u201csoft diss track,\u201d an expression of pain laced with compassion and grace. She told Time Out: \u201cEven in my hurt, I remain gracious. I don\u2019t wish ill on anyone regardless of how much they\u2019ve hurt me because I truly believe in karma and all her shapes and forms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through her lyrics, she navigates heartbreak without anger, turning her pain into a poignant reflection on forgiveness and self-respect.<\/p>\n

In Sahasrara, Dato confronts the myth that time alone can heal all wounds. She digs deep, questioning her own emotions and insecurities.<\/p>\n

Unpacking the truth<\/p>\n

She sings: \u201cWas I catastrophising the situation or just gaslighting myself into letting unsettling feelings slide for the sake of love?\u201d<\/p>\n

Her introspective lyricism highlights the challenges of unaddressed emotions as each line reveals her vulnerability and allows listeners to reflect on their own experiences with unresolved feelings.<\/p>\n

The track\u2019s hauntingly beautiful melody is complemented by backing vocals from Sandi Ncube, whose harmonies add depth and emotion to Dato\u2019s already powerful vocals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels and sounds like healing\u201d<\/p>\n

Together they create an immersive, textured sound that \u201cfeels and sounds like healing\u201d. The music itself mirrors the emotional journey that Dato undergoes, building from raw introspection to a place of cathartic release. It is a sonic embodiment of her journey from pain to peace.<\/p>\n

Writing Sahasrara was both challenging and cathartic for Dato. She reflects: \u201cWriting Sahasrara was painful but necessary. I relived memories I\u2019d buried, wondering about all the \u2018what-ifs\u2019 and questioning if I was too soft for this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the end of the process, she felt a sense of closure and peace, calling it her favourite song \u2013 a journey she feels fortunate to have gone through and which she hopes will resonate with others seeking healing.<\/p>\n

Defined by her evolution<\/p>\n

Sahasrara is more than just a song but a milestone in Dato Seiko\u2019s growth as both an artist and a person. Known for her genre-fluid approach, Dato\u2019s music has consistently broken boundaries, blending visual artistry and a unique vocal presence.<\/p>\n

Her previous EP, \u201cGrace Effect,\u201d topped Apple Music\u2019s Alternative charts and garnered local and international acclaim, with features in Tha Native and collaborations with major artists like Mpho Sebina and Thato Jessica.<\/p>\n
