Not many have realized, but you can zss how the world’s attention have been shifted from the wrong deeds some notorious individuals are causing. Well nothing can stay hidden forever and that’s why Kelsie Kimberlin, the American-Ukrainian singer known for her powerful and socially conscious music, has released a new song and lyric video titled “Vlad.” This song ain’t just any song, but a song that brings to light the atrocities of an individual named Vlad causing the world. It’s a song about what’s going on in Ukraine and the impact it’s had. This is not the first song of it’s kind from Kimberlin, she actually had a trilogy which gained millions of streams and views across streaming platforms. The songs includes “Armageddon,” “Another Chance To Live Again,” and “Turn Back,” with all of them being hailed as one of the most impressive narratives of our times by influential music reviewers. So you should know you’re in for a special special treat.

Now the song “Vlad”, open our eyes into the deep wells of the actions of the man behind the Ukraine War. The song lay bare the horrors, pains and trauma Vlad has caused. The death of innocent souls, kids, women and even soldiers who lost their lives defending or fighting in this war. Now catch the vibe here, this song was actually unreleased till Kelsie Kimberlin, was in a one-hour UK radio program discussing her music and recent trip to Ukraine, where she played 13 of her songs related to Ukraine which included this song Vlad. Then the response she got gingered her to release this beauty of a masterpiece, crafted with the best of ingredients, served hot and spicy. What I love about this song , is how the rap, flow and energy matches the beats without deviating. See she can rap, and I love how she was able to keep the energy with the beat, giving the song a hip-hop feel, yet different but has the rock-pop vibes all over. The authenticity and uniqueness in this song is wholesome, catches the listener’s attention, keeps them entertained and immerse them into the song’s emotional atmosphere of feeling the harsh realities of war and experiencing the atrocities Vlad has caused.

According to Kimberlin, “There are some people throughout history who committed such evil that the mere mention of their name sends a chill down one’s spine.” We can think of such people like Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, bin Laden, and Stalin, and to her, Vlad is also part of this list. One thing is, if you’re not a Ukrainian, you may think you’re safe, but know it can happen to anyone, anywhere and it could be you. Vlad ain’t just some words and beats that are nice and enjoyable, but also carries a deep message that resonates with listeners, with the way the lyrics are delivered with intensity on those driven beats, lay emphasis on war, death, hate, lies and the negative impact it has had on innocent souls. May everyone lost RIP 🕊️🕊️.

The lyric video that comes with the song was edited by the talented Kyiv filmmaker Pavlo Khomiuk, which perfectly complements the song. Now the beautiful aspect of Kelsie Kimberlin is how she’s impacting the affected through her foundation and platforms, being the voice to the oppressor and also helping in rebuilding lost infrastructures and lives.
