Kelsie Kimberlin is a name that stands out nowadays. It is gaining worldwide recognition. Not only her powerful songs but also her thought-provoking music videos. We can see it in her latest release, “We Are The Promise,” It is no exception to this statement at all. The American-Ukrainian singer has once again captured the hearts. Also eyes and minds of her audience. Let’s get down to her song which is not only catchy but also carries a strong message.
It is Inspired by the current political climate and the rise of authoritarianism. Kelsie teamed up with Ukrainian composer and film director Sergiy Krutsenko to create a cinematic masterpiece. The video shows a long well well-done job. It was shot at historical locations such as a former Soviet prison and a centuries-old castle and tells the story of a dystopian society where music is banned and musicians are executed for speaking out against the regime.
But let’s watch beyond its captivating visuals. Let’s analyze its concept. It’s worth pinching out that “We Are The Promise” serves as a warning campaign. Firstly, It shows elements against the dangers of authoritarian rule around the world. Another matter is it could also work as a call to action for ordinary citizens. Despite it being an enjoyable song, It’s a call to stand up against injustice.
We can mention that Kelsie shared an important statement. This video was meant to be a metaphor for the actions of authoritarian regimes around the world. On the other hand, it is also a prediction of the processes that have been occurring in countries like Russia, Afghanistan, and Iran.
The song’s lyrics, serve as a war cry for Ukraine. It also holds a powerful message for any country facing similar issues. We should also talk about Kelsie’s powerful vocals and the orchestra’s performance. It adds spicy elements to the overall impact of the song. It makes it an anthem for anyone fighting against fascism.
Unfortunately, the team couldn’t complete the video on time first. The video was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team also took into account the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Just when it seemed like the project would never see the light of day, tragedy struck with the sudden passing of Sergiy Krutsenko. So, the team decided to finish the video in his memory.
The team kept going despite the challenges. “We Are The Promise” has finally been successfully released. You can see by yourself that it has already received interactions. They received millions of views, plays, and streams. Kelsie’s team is also actively looking for a cable company for some strategy. This is to fulfill Sergiy’s dream of turning the video into a powerful cable series. The idea is to feature famous musicians in episodic roles, fighting against fascism alongside Kelsie.
In a comment, Kelsie shared her thoughts on the current state of the world and the importance of using one’s voice to stand up against authoritarianism. “We live in treacherous times with the rise of right-wing populism and the normalization of authoritarianism,” she says. “It is therefore very important that people around the world are aware of the threats to freedom and democracy from dictators who care only about power and control. All freedom-loving people must take individual and collective responsibility and oppose fascism in any form. My song and video are intended to inspire everyone to stand up for their rights in the face of these threats.”
