โPerfumeโ by Kelsie Kimberlin is here to stick in your mind, just like the scent itโs named after. From the first shimmering notes, the track builds with an almost hypnotic pull, wrapping itself around you with deep, pulsing beats that hit heavy yet feel strangely weightless. Kelsieโs voice is grainy and rich, carrying a meditative, almost spellbinding quality. She doesnโt rush; instead, she sings with a steady, intimate, and irresistible constancy. Something is intoxicating about the way she delivers each line as if sheโs casting a spell with every note. And the chorus is magnetism itself, sultry, smooth, and soaked in an effortless allure that feels both playful and inescapable. You donโt just listen to โPerfumeโ, you drift into it.
The music video, filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine, adds an extra layer of quiet power. Kelsie walks through the cityโs cobblestone streets, her partner trailing behind her, drawn in by an invisible force, love, scent, and connection, all rolled into one.
But the beauty of the video is shadowed by the real-life tragedy that struck just hours after filming when a Russian drone attack claimed the life of 15-year-old Mariya Troyanovskaya. In her memory, Kelsie dedicates this song to her. With โPerfume,โ the memory of the victim has been locked in the folds of music, for us to recall the cruelty as well as the love.
With Grammy-level production and an artist at the top of her game, โPerfumeโ is here to stay with you. Listen to it on Spotify.
