Holding on to something that’s already broken and knowing too well you can never let go adds weight that lingers in heart and mind. Kelsie Kimberlin’s latest single Sucker seamlessly translated this situation into a track. Her ability to weave a personal experience into an art that resonates with her listeners shines in this song.
Sucker started with captivating pop beats that are smoothly layered and polished along with the entrancing synth arrangement. The music production was minimal, which creates space for depth and reflection. This allows her deep, stylish, and soulful voice to leave a lasting impression on listeners.
Kimberlin’s lyricism peaks with this track as she highlights the push and pull, the contrasts and repetitions that comes with being in a toxic relationship. Her voice carries the weight of efforts that were not reciprocated and the disappointments from needs not being met. It was not a typical heartbreak song you’d hear. It comes with self-awareness and realization, and the reality that it’s not easy to walk away from these situations.
If you’re also stuck in a relationship and still finding the courage to break free or get away, Kelsie Kimberlin’s Suckeris a great song to keep you company!
