Kelsey Wild

A few months ago, probably sometime during fall trimester, I went onto Purevolume (which I, apparently, pimp all the time) and looked at their featured artists. I stumbled upon an Indie/Acoustic arist named Kelsey Wild.

She's a seventeen year old artist from Byron, Illinois. Her music is basically her playing piano and her voice. She has a really unique voice that really defines her lyrics. In conjunction with her voice, her piano melodies give the perfect accents to her poetic lyrics. All her songs are very mellow, very stripped down and vulnerable and extremely pretty. She's immensely talented.

All of Kelsey's songs tell stories, in some way. They're all personal and have some kind of experience from her life to convey. Her music is mellow and perfect to listen to when trying to write a story, do your homework or any other time during the day. Once you start listening to Kelsey's music, it will be stuck in your head all day long, cycling through one of her five songs on her Purevolume.

The only depressing thing is that Kelsey's music is so good you just want more of it once you've listened to her five tracks. The sad thing is that she isn't yet signed to any record label. I think she'd be an immediate hit among mellow indie listeners, maybe even wider audiences, espcially in the Midwest because that's where she's from and where she's play shows. However, there is no news on new songs or a potential record deal. But she has many fans crossing their fingers for an album in the future.
