Kelsie Kimberlin’s new single Walking Away is a deeply emotional journey, delivered through a blend of evocative melodies and rich instrumentation.

The song opens with a mysterious, haunting piano arpeggio that sets a reflective tone. As Kimberlin’s voice enters, it’s clear she’s about to take the listener through a powerful emotional landscape.
From the start, there’s a sense of solitude in the music, which is complemented by the sparse, yet striking piano lines. The song evokes an almost Western feeling, as if the listener is alone in a vast, open desert.
There’s something quietly tragic about the way Kimberlin’s voice navigates the melody, adding a layer of introspection to the song. It’s almost as if she’s singing directly to someone, yet the words are full of distance, like a farewell to something or someone toxic.
As the track builds, the dynamics shift, and the song begins to swell in intensity. The chorus, in particular, takes on an almost ethereal quality, especially with the addition of strings.
These arrangements elevate the song to a more transcendent plane, giving it a feeling of release and resolution as the music opens up into a more expansive, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
It’s a moment of catharsis, where Kimberlin’s emotional expression meets a more universal tone, resonating far beyond the confines of the song’s personal narrative.
Visually, the song’s accompanying music video further deepens the experience. Filmed in Kyiv, the video captures Kimberlin walking away, a visual metaphor for escape and liberation.
Given the current situation in Ukraine, there’s an added weight to the imagery. The choice of location, combined with the song’s theme of breaking free from something destructive, feels even more poignant in light of the world events unfolding around the city.

“Too many people are living in abusive relationships where they feel stuck forever for a variety of reasons so I wanted to give them a voice and hopefully the courage to finally just walk away. Life is way too short and too precious to live it subjected to negativity and control,” said Kelsie. “I hope this song and video empowers people to look out for themselves and their own mental health.”
