“Shattered” is a song that everyone can relate to. We’ve all looked once to see our reflection, only to see a shattered version of ourselves or a shattered glass from the mirror itself, haven’t we? The story is about a girl who lets a boy shatter her confidence, self-image, and heart, which some may relate to, and others may relate to the realistic lyrics through another scenario. In all cases, you’ve got to admit that the lyrics are sincere and written in a touching manner.
Kelsie’s soul-stirring vocals will make you connect with the song and feel its melancholy, disappointment, and will to power through.

Along with the vocals, the melodic musicality delves with you into the depth of the story, passing through the shattered pieces and reaching for a glamorous new mirror. In the song’s well-crafted music video with Kelsie’s sincere delivery, there is a live pianist and string quartet, which, according to the artist—and I agree—capture intimacy. The instrumentalists’ masterful performances added warmth and enhanced the output.
