“An engaging set that blended strong vocals and an energetic live presence. [Kelsey's] performance captured the lively atmosphere of [SXSW] and connected with the audience throughout the set.”
Drawing inspiration from Kelsey's rock and roll roots and her newfound love for bass playing, LOVE HARD delivers an immersive auditory experience defined by a combination of danceable songs, emotional ballads, instrumentals, and old school album segues in what she calls an “organic concept album."
"With this album, I wanted to go back to a time when records were truly made as one cohesive piece of art. Not just a collection of songs, but something that comes together as a whole. Everything was built from scratch in the studio. I wanted the songs to both stand on their own, and take the listener on an epic journey from one to the next."
-Kelsey.
“Kelsey is a strong, vibrant songwriter and performer. Fans of Sara Bareilles and Brandi Carlile as well as New Wave and the Beatles will find much to love in her debut album Love Hard.”
