A sweet yet tragic tale of someone who always questions their actions, this is what artist Kate Keller gifts us with her new single “Whiplash.” The song explores the regret one feels over their actions as one always finds oneself more passionate than others, and this leads to the emotions of feeling out of place. The track is incredibly vulnerable and is definitely relatable enough to put yourself in the shoes of the speaker. As previously mentioned, the song is a sweet indie pop track and Kate Keller sounds so beautiful on “Whiplash.” What really sells the song is that it has this anthemic feel to it that almost feels therapeutic in a way. Listening to “Whiplash” is almost healing because of how raw the track is.
“Whiplash” stays driven by an acoustic guitar that perfectly complements Keller’s voice. The main character holds so much regret and believes everything that has gone wrong is because of their actions and theirs alone. It’s so easy for us to fall into this mindset when we become over-excited about a situation and come off too strong. The chorus holds this pain, exploring the “wreckage” of what could have been, and urging for a change in how the speaker acts. With “Whiplash” it’s incredibly transparent about feeling like the problem in a situation, but it’s important to view the song as a reminder that everyone feels this way, and we aren’t always responsible for what goes wrong. Overall, the song “Whiplash” is such a gorgeous listen, and more importantly, it reflects on important aspects of our inner self we can’t simply ignore.
