Kelsie Kimberlin Releases Emotional New Music Video for "Walking Away"
Kelsie Kimberlin started 2025 with a powerful music video for her new single "Walking Away." It’s is her first project as a solo director. It was filmed on the streets of Kyiv, Ukraine, where she was working on a movie about Ukrainian resistance. In the video, we can see her walking through the quiet streets early in the morning, taking layers of clothing off as she goes. She’s getting rid of the pain and emotional baggage that come with toxic relationships. There’s this one moment where she’s holding a stuffed toy, which symbolizes vulnerability and hope.
Kelsie hopes the song will inspire people to take back their freedom and understand their self-worth. “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," explains Kelsie. She thinks that life is too short to waste it trapped in negativity or letting someone else control you. Through her music and the way she tells this story in the video, she’s sending out a strong message. She encourages people to put their mental health first and believe in the possibility of a better, brighter future.
The decision to film the video in Kyiv has, of course, a very strong symbolic meaning. In the video, she’s walking away from a toxic relationship — and it mirrors what Ukraine has been going through as it fights to break free from the past. It’s a powerful parallel when we consider that Ukraine’s currently fighting to assert its independence. The music itself matches that journey. It starts off soft and delicate, just the piano and her dreamy vocals, almost fragile. As it builds, gradually the intensity increases with the addition of strings, like she’s gathering the strength to move forward.
Kelsie’s career has been taking off. She’s written and recorded over 100 original songs, many of which have garnered millions of views and streams. Every song she releases involves Grammy-winning producers. She’s about to release a full-length movie with a soundtrack featuring her music, and she’ll be touring to promote both the film and support Ukraine. She’s definitely ready to reach new heights and take her career to the next level.
