Jazz From The Valley – I’ve always had a passion for Music, My Grandmother gave me a Guitar at an early age and I’ve loved it ever since.
When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?

“Walking Away” by Kelsie Kimberlin evokes an anthemic brilliance of empowerment to liberation
Recognized for her emotive pop prowess, Kelsie Kimberlin starts 2025 with a soulful masterstroke, delving deep into themes of resilience and rebirth in her evocative new single, “Walking Away.” This release marks her initial offering, 2025, which pairs impactful lyricism with a striking music video that Kimberlin herself directed. Shot on the hauntingly resilient streets of Kyiv, Ukraine, the visuals weave personal and political symbolism into a narrative centered on courage and transformation.
Kimberlin’s emotive vocal delivery captures the ache of breaking free from a toxic relationship, while the imagery in the music video enhances the storytelling. As she traverses the desolate, early-morning streets, she metaphorically sheds layers of clothing, representing the relinquishment of pain and abuse. By holding a stuffed toy, she subtly illustrates the concept of finding solace in vulnerability, embodying the notion of a fresh beginning marked by freedom and fearlessness.
The choice to film in Kyiv adds a significant layer of poignancy to “Walking Away.” Just as Kimberlin’s journey mirrors personal liberation, it parallels Ukraine’s ongoing fight for freedom and independence amidst persistent oppression. The song becomes a rallying cry for individuals trapped in toxic relationships and entire nations striving to reclaim their autonomy.
Musically, “Walking Away” thrives on its polished pop production, harmoniously balancing anthemic crescendos with Kimberlin’s heartfelt vocal performance. The melody lingers long after the track ends, a reminder of the strength it takes to walk away and the beauty that awaits on the other side. Kimberlin’s courage to candidly share her experiences boldly inspires others to embark on their journeys of self-discovery.
This single is essential for anyone seeking motivation to initiate a new life chapter. With “Walking Away,” Kelsie Kimberlin proves herself as an artist, a profound storyteller, and an advocate, delivering a universal message of resilience that resonates far beyond the music.
