On September 19, 2025, Kelsie Kimberlin—a dynamic Ukrainian-American artist in the pop singer-songwriter space—released her new single and video ‘Dream of Peace’, timed to echo worldwide peace efforts and premiering at the International Peace Concert in Los Angeles. Starting her musical path young, from church groups to professional recordings by 11, she’s now amassed over 100 songs, massive streaming numbers in the tens of millions, and a busy 2025 slate with this as her sixth drop. Her humanitarian side stands out, earning her the United Nations Humanitarian Award and King Charles‘ St. George’s Royal Medal of Honor for championing Ukraine’s struggles via her platform.
Production on the track layers in symphonic elements and group vocals, courtesy of Yuriy Shapeta from Ukraine and Pedro Vengoechea from Colombia, escalating to an intense climax. Vocals got polish from director Larry Friedman, with audio finalized by Liam Nolan (Grammy champ behind Adele) on mix and Stuart Hawkes (Grammy nod for Amy Winehouse) on master. Filmed amid heavy attacks in Kyiv last August, the visual piece—directed by Denys Akulov of TOBE Production, who handled Ed Sheeran‘s viral “2Step”—employs advanced motion tech to flip between ruined terrains and vibrant renewals. The plot follows Kimberlin spotting a stranded astronaut, twisting to show it’s her, and closes on her amid sunflowers against a blue expanse, nodding to Ukraine’s flag.
Kimberlin‘s upcoming Ukraine-focused film, complete with her custom soundtrack, will roll out later this year alongside a global performance run aimed at boosting awareness and fan connections. Through it all, she turns personal conviction into pop-driven anthems that highlight endurance and push for positive shifts.
