The singer and songwriter of pop/folk
music from Northern California known as Kelsey Forsberg has released
her debut EP “Lost.” The album has been proudly published on the
Radiant Soul Records independent music label without the involvement
of corporate music entities. It comprises five original tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 20 minutes. Warm, heartfelt, and
written in the true spirit of the folk and country tradition, “Lost”
is the latest example that the real voice of America is in the
singing of her independent artists.
Kelsey Forsberg cites as main artistic
influences Miranda Lambert, ZZ Ward, Sheryl Crow, Colbie Caillat,
Sara Bareilles, and Banks. Her own songwriting style fits in well
with that of the legendary performers on this list, but her singing
is more down-to-earth, more genuine, and more accessible to listeners
of various music genres than many of them. Her natural tone seems to
reach through the music to shake the listener's hand, leading one
through the singing of her musical narratives as if down a country
road.
This is appropriate, as her debut
record revolves around the ins and outs, ups and downs of life –
anyone's life – everyone's life.
“The 'Lost' EP shares the struggles
that people go through every day,” writes the singer of this. “It
has songs ranging from heartache to getting revenge on a former
bully, to being lost in a big city where no one knows your name. The
lyrics reveal a discovery of oneself that I hope listeners can relate
to.”
While singing has been a lifelong love
for Forsberg, it wasn't until high school that she began taking it
seriously.
She writes, “I have loved music and
singing since I was a little girl but I really started getting
involved in the music scene at age 15, when I began taking vocal
lessons and entering into local singing competitions. I took these
experiences and began writing my own music. It wasn't until I started
playing at open mic nights in Folsom, CA that I really started to
expand my style of music and booking local gigs.”
Now the author and performer of a
globally distributed EP album, Forsberg sees music as a part of
herself more than ever before.
“Music has become a way of expression
and happiness for me,” she writes.
“Lost” by Kelsey Forsberg and
co-written and produced by Radiant Soul Records' David Warren is
available online worldwide.
