Pop's Ephemeral Euphoria: Decode Fables from the Heartstrings with Kelsie Kimberlin's 'The Drawer'

Kelsie Kimberlin returns to the masses with her first-ever tune compilation 'The Drawer' and we can guarantee that this is a hit! An American-Ukrainian singer-songwriter hailing from Ukraine, Kelsie is constantly making efforts to raise voices for the cause through her music, and that is something that makes her way beyond and above a usual entertainer. Her artistry usually contains dual-meaning numbers with deep themes that are aimed at evoking change. As someone who was immersed in the realms of music at a very young age, Kelsie has sung in choirs, participated in Yoko Ono's peace Project and has been diversifying her knowledge with endless originals. From writing, recording, performing as well as filming her videos, she articulates every minute detail of her songs and is a pure enchantress in disguise of a singer. Let's witness the fire of her latest album!

'The Drawer' is a rollercoaster ride of unfiltered emotions and vibes that transcend in nothing but pure harmony, providing you with the perfect example of versatility in pop.

We breakthrough into the album with the emotive verses of 'Drawer'. The track is about a fading love that only went downhill with the immense dearth of intoxication, this is the tale of how Kelsie went back to the same person again and again, despite them being controlling and toxic, thereby being completely ripped apart from the heart. This is a poignant tune which is full of storytelling that would make the masses feel something. 'Fatal Attraction' discusses the aftermath of an obsessive toxic love that lasts in one's head more than they want to, thereby consuming them so much that the other person is all they look for everywhere they go. Kelsie throws a light on the same by discussing her personal story of struggle, of how all she would've ever wanted was to run back in the past and erase everything. Although her heart wants them to come around, her mind knows that it wouldn't be right for her. 'Meet Me Anywhere' is the tale of Kelsie calling out her lover telling them how she loves and adores them for just the way they are, and how they don't have to look so far. She tells them further how she would do anything for them. This feels like the brewing of romance but with hopelessness. The next track, 'January Through December' is also an unhinged number that throws light on the dilemmas the artist's mind is going through. The infatuation and liking for them is just rising, from January to December. It seems like thoughts of them have grown on her. This is cute, subtle, dreamy and sweet and feels like cotton candy.


Then we step into surreal capes of thoughts with 'Summertime's Gone'. This feels like the artist's awakening into the real world, where the romantic allures are haunted by the circumstantial long distance that both of them have to face. Romantic relationships could make or break in this phase, and this uncertainty is openly expressed in this number, where Kelsie is questioning whether or not she'll meet them again. The mood of the album completely changes with the super-groovy melody 'Parking Lot', where the artist is seen encouraging a girl to dance recklessly to the beats played in the parking lot. The concept is very hot, addictive and intriguing and would get you grooving. 'Twinkle' is another melody that is a melodic paradise about a young trans girl who's creating revelations in society by taking a stand for her cause. Last but not least, 'Recovery' fills us with sentiments of change and transformation, where the artist has finally moved miles ahead in her healing journey. With this, we understand how she is way ahead of her lover, who's still searching for someone like her. Overall, I think that is a good mix of profound storytelling, unhinged narratives, beautiful melodies and addictive beats that will check all the boxes for a marvelous pop album and hence, is a must-listen!
