On an ever-evolving musical landscape, where creative artists and bands continuously share high-quality music, only a few music outlets manage to deliver a one-of-a-kind listening experience that vividly showcases their skills, creativity, talent, experience, and knowledge. It seems like the majority of those artists and bands overly exploit their influence, lose themselves in various experimentations, or tirelessly reinvent the same old wheel by copying something the greats released and performed decades ago. Thankfully, singer-songwriters like Kelsie Kimberlin continuously deliver fresh, unique, innovative, exciting music that immediately wraps around the listening apparatus, grabs by the collar, and immediately transports to a different realm. “Dream of Peace” exemplifies her dedication to the craft. It’s her latest piece of work that breaks all the rules and shapeshifts the boundaries of so many music genres at once. With each new piece, she introduces even more experimentation, so that’s the case with “Dream of Peace,” a song that introduces so many innovations in songwriting, composing, arranging, and producing. Lyrically, the song is a powerful anthem that calls for peace in the world. In the era where conflicts are all around the globe, it’s more than necessary to call to action that demands the full attention of the broader audience. Sonically, Kimberlin bends all the rules of pop music by combining various techniques and complementary music genres with a singer-songwriter approach. You’ll stumble upon some of the finest properties of contemporary, classic, indie, and dream pop, ethno, and world music colliding together into a colossal slab of harmonious noise. Each layer, element, detail, accentuation, nuance, vocal, sonic, and rhythmic maneuver has been carefully and thoughtfully implemented to satisfy even the pickiest listeners. Although this composition carries qualities that meet all the trends in contemporary music production, there’s a subtle touch of nostalgia lurking around and spicing things up. Kelsie thought about everything while assembling and recording “Dream of Peace,” so this composition will immediately appeal to anyone who appreciates calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal, addictive, hypnotic pop music.
“Dream of Peace” is a one-of-a-kind listening experience where Kelsie Kimberlin’s voice uplifts the entire structure to new heights. Her soulful, passionate, sincere, confident, emotive, and powerful vocal performance acts as a centerpiece, carrying the message of peace, commanding attention, and leading listeners on an epic voyage through the expansive sonic universe, crafted by wisely and skillfully stacking outstanding ideas and marvelous orchestrations. Her impressive vocal range seamlessly balances low, mid, and high notes with such precision and finesse, emphasizing everything she intended to achieve with this song. Besides decorating all those segments and instrumentations, her voice contributes more than necessary emotional depth and complexity to an already intricate structure. You’ll also notice additional vocal layers, back vocals, and sing-alongs, giving more anthemic vibes to this mesmerizing composition. The synths and keys play a significant role in this sonic equation, as their interplays shape a perfect backdrop for all the vocals to shine upon. You’ll hear how all those leads, themes, melodies, harmonies, accentuations, and other sonic maneuvers shine in the limelight on one side, while the chord progressions, pads, and sequences resonate on the other. It’s nearly mindblowing how all these layers articulate together without overwhelming each other. You’ll hear subtle guitar beneath all these layers. Its present might not be vividly harable, but it makes those synths and keys even more intricate. Of course, this composition wouldn’t sound this good without the equally impressive basslines, which in this case contribute more warmth, depth, heaviness, and clarity to the mix while simultaneously binding the mentioned instrumentations with drums. The rhythmic patterns based upon moderate, well-accentuated, expertly performed, and tastefully assembled beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics offer stability, precision, groove, power, and all of that while keeping the remainder of the instrumentation in line.
