Humanitarian and musical artist Kelsie Kimberlin has made her name known throughout the international airwaves over the past several years with music that has championed the ideals of independence, mental fortitude, and overcoming adversity in all forms. The Ukrainian native has more than made her mark on the pop community at large, not just through her respectable volume of audio and visual releases, but also the eclectic sense of inspiration and incredible quality reflected in her work. Her latest single, “Sucker,” proves itself as an illustrious addition to her already robust repertoire as she chronicles autobiographical accounts and lessons learned through experiences of dealing with those unable or unwilling to follow through on grandiose promises.
The single begins with an upbeat and pop-inspired bass and percussive instrumental rhythm that immediately sets the musical tone for the piece. Kimberlin’s vocals appear soon after and waste no time getting to the narrative thesis of the tune with the opening line, “Where’d you go when I needed you the most? You disappeared like a high-tailed ghost.” Immediately, we are thrown into the world of the song as the intentions are made clear from the introductory stanza.
The single highlights one of Kimberlin’s greatest strengths as an artist, her ability to channel her deepest and most disparaging memories into an upbeat and catchy melody, and write a lyric sheet that highlights her inspirational proclivity to focus on overcoming obstacles, rather than the negative. Facetiously referring to herself as a “sucker” throughout, she highlights the growth we all aspire to have in ourselves as we navigate the ends of disappointing relationships.
