The track is the exciting artist’s third new music video of 2025
Kelsie Kimberlin is an artist who always seems to have an exciting and thoughtful new release out lately, with the prolific and creative artist releasing a plethora of immersive releases as she spends time in Ukraine filming a movie about Ukrainian resistance and resilience.
The latest of these singles is ‘Perfume’, a track that explores themes like love and infatuation, using the allure of perfume and the way that it draws people to you and gives off an attractive scent as a more physical manifestation of that. The laid-back and captivating nature of the sound makes for a really engrossing listening experience that is full of charm and appeal, alongside a similarly romantic music video that doubles down on its thoughtful message of love and attraction.
“I have to admit that in high school, I read the book ‘Perfume’ and watched the accompanying film about a young man in Paris who was intoxicated by the smells of perfume worn by the women in the city. This inspired my song but instead of the dark turn described in the book, my song is uplifting and about how love, like perfume, can be so mysteriously attracting. Perfume is my metaphor for love. The right perfume like the right love is so powerful that no words are needed,” said Kelsie.
Although the video shows Kelsie calmly walking through Kyiv while pedestrians pass her by, after the filming was done, she and her film crew went to dinner at a small café when a Russian attack drone struck a nearby apartment building killing 15 year Mariya Troyanovskaya. Kelsie has dedicated this song to her.
