Kelsey Kindall is a singer-songwriter currently based in San Francisco who brings together disco grooves, indie pop sensibilities, and heartfelt storytelling in a way that feels both fun and vulnerable. She came up through theater, which gives her performances a strong sense of personality and emotional nuance. Before releasing this album, she had released a series of EPs under the “Parties” theme, including Goodbye Party (2024) and Afterparty (2025), which set the stage for this new EP. Now with Pityparty, she appears to be stepping into a broader space, balancing dancefloor moments with introspective midnight reflections.
Track by Track
Martini
The opener invites you into a nightclub of memory and self-realization. With shimmering synths and a steady groove, Kelsey sings about wanting clarity instead of chaos. Her voice holds both tiredness and optimism, reflecting someone who’s done pretending to be carefree. The beat keeps things moving while the lyrics dig deep.
Addicted
This track ramps up energy and stakes. The rhythm pulses, and the lyrics touch on chasing validation, the thrill, and the cost. Kelsey doesn’t shy away from the messy middle; “feeling the side-effects” becomes a refrain you recognize. Production supports the feeling of being propelled forward, but unsure of the destination.
Orbit
“Orbit” brings reflection and emotional weight. The melody loops gently while Kelsey sings about revolving around someone’s world and wondering when the spin ends. There’s a sadness in the groove and a strength in the voice. It’s familiar and fresh at once, the kind of song that builds quietly then holds.
Pityparty
The title track closes the EP with a mix of subtle celebration and honest reckoning. It captures the moment when the party ends, but the thoughts stay. The instrumentation feels warmer and broader here, letting her voice carry lines about change, about missing the old you, about realizing growth happens in the slow spaces. It ends the EP on a note of acceptance more than triumph.
Final Thoughts
Pityparty is small in size but big in heart. With just four songs, Kelsey Kindall gives listeners a full-spectrum portrait of transition, from high energy to introspective calm. It’s dance-influenced, yes, but not shallow. There’s vulnerability, clarity, and growth woven into the grooves. Whether you’re dancing in the living room or staring out a rainy window, this EP will meet you where you are.
