With her rich and powerful voice, Kelsie Kimberlin brings a new perspective to Miley Cyrus’ hit single “Rooting for My Baby.” Her Ukrainian-American background gives a different meaning and perspective to Cyrus’ original, with the subject matter behind Kimberlin’s version really being her ancestral home. It’s a powerful message she conveys in her version of the song, as she shows her support and love for her home country of Ukraine during this trying time of war and hardship that the nation finds itself wrapped in.
Kelsie’s powerful vocals compare well to the immense stature of who she’s emulating, bringing a different style but with equal composure and power through her own performance. The song has a rather upbeat nature, but given its emotional core, you can’t help but be moved by its message. “Rooting for My Baby” is a classic to begin with and Kelsie Kimberlin spins it quite fantastically so with her own meaning and message as a tribute to a nation in need.
