Born Kootshepile Motseonageng, Berry Heart set tongues wagging last week after she unveiled the cover photo of the song on social media.
In the photo, Berry Heart is naked while squatting down with her hands tied behind her back. The picture was an immediate Internet sensation with her followers seemingly having mixed feelings and others posting memes of the image.
Some saw it as inappropriate whilst some simply believed it was art.
Berry Heart however, defended the cover photo saying it is not nudity.
“I am totally naked in the picture, but I tried to hide the explicit parts. It is more of my bare back showing. It is art,” she argued.
On Thursday at the Cigar Lounge, Berry Heart dressed by Mothusi Lesolle of Izaura fame in a see through maroon number, launched her single side by side with the man she features, Atlasaone ‘ATI’ Molemogi.
At the venue, Berry Heart said: “It was not easy making this track. It was not an easy road, but thankfully I had the most creative brother, ATI, in the industry by my side”.
For his part, ATI also dressed in a Maroon suit added: “Likewise, she is the same in kind. We wanted to instil the ideology that it is not about me. It is not about you. It is all about the people”.
The song was sampled throughout the night. The crowd on the day, however, was lukewarm when the song was first introduced. The Monitor later noticed that the song grew on some of the listeners.
Spotted at the official launch were local musicians Nnunu Ramogotsi, Punah Gabasiame-Molale, Shanti-Lo, Kearoma Rantao, and MultiChoice Marketing Executive, Basadi Masimolole just to mention a few.
