Kelsie Kimberlin’s latest single, “Walking Away”, is more than a song—it’s a message. It has been released with an official music video, which makes this track an empowering way to start the year 2025. The director of the video and the song, Kimberlin, filmed it in Kyiv, Ukraine, illustrating her music’s greater purpose of sending a message of resilience and freedom. The song sinks into the range of emotions that come together when one is finally willing to detach themselves from toxic relationships. Kimberlin pours her heart out through the lyrics and sets them to a blend of soothing melodies that convey the pain, courage, and liberation of walking away from negative people. Her voice alone is stirring enough to give the listeners a real sense of determination to fight their battles.
The video is equally eye-catching. Kimberlin commences the video on the serene streets of Kyiv just before sunrise while seemingly shedding layers of clothes. The stuffed toy that she carries lends a sense of childlike innocence and suggests that beginning a new chapter also involves embracing and nurturing one’s self. To throw away the burden of past suffering and to reclaim one’s identity is both intermixed and powerful symbolism. “Walking Away” is rooted in personal freedom, but as the name suggests, it also speaks about the remorseful state of Ukraine for fighting for freedom. This is evident when Kimberlin chose to shoot the video in Kyiv since it tells the narrator’s tale while at the same seeking the country’s desire to escape from oppression.
Her art portrays genuine thoughts and feelings of Kimberlin, which is why she has written over 100 songs that have millions of views on various streaming platforms. This year, she is taking her artistry a step forward by producing a full-length motion picture on Ukrainian hardships, using her music as a soundtrack. More than just a piece of art, “Walking Away” is a song that symbolizes the hope and strength one needs to seek to move forward. Kimberlin’s message is clear: life is so precious that should not be wasted in negativity. If you haven’t listened to it yet, you ought not to miss this track.
