Kelsie Kimberlin takes a step away from her political offerings as she explores Latin pop in her latest single, ‘Parking Lot’. Kimberlin goes all out for authenticity, featuring Colombian producer Pedro Vengoechea, accompanied by a colorful clip shot in Cartagena, Colombia with a beautiful group of Colombian dancers.
Based in Washington DC, Kelsie Kimberlin is a singer and songwriter whose style changes strikingly from one release to the next. After an anthemic bit of angsty rock with ‘Vlad’, a politicized song with intentions that are clear from the title, ‘Parking Lot’ is a seductive piece of Latin pop with all the correct necessary measures taken to ensure an appropriate Latin atmosphere is served.
‘Parking Lot’ has a very Latin composition, making use of Phrygian chords that would sound to most listeners as the “correct” Latin sound, Kelsie pits the authentic music on top of a Caribbean beat with acoustic guitar fills that finalize the picture. The feature of Pedro Vengoechea on the production duty makes sure the mix has the poppy beats and character that make the song excel in what it sets out to do, being a fun and lighthearted Latin pop offering that’s easy to love and to loop.
‘Kelsie Kimberlin’ is a skilled songwriter who knows how to shapeshift her voice to fit the situation. All her releases are fun songs that don’t demand much effort to be immersed in. Easy-going, tasty, and colorful.
