Freckles is a carefully choreographed work of art in which Kimberly Walker’s sexy voice shines of its natural moods and different shades of light. The high aesthetic album features the tenderest details that perfectly weaved into the album’s authenticity and vulnerability. From the warm, refreshing new love to one’s darkest and most vulnerable moments struggling with mental health to reclaiming inner solar power, Freckles takes you on a journey through the different aspects of passion, love, and empowerment.

Freckles is a stunning album that instantly draws your attention from the very first sound—the soft, cinematic sonic that intrigues you to walk into a world of calming green. The title track “Freckles” has a very interesting balance between Walker’s smooth and moody R&B vocal and the instrumentals. They were both stunningly intricate and at the same time better and complete one another.

“Higher,” tells the story about the high of a relationship with vivid imageries that are poetically inserted into Walker’s lyricism, which offers another layer of visual effects into the sonics as well. The magic of the song is all within Walker’s effortless and cathartic vocal performance.

“Feeling Myself” shifts to a spacious yet focused lens, highlighting the loneliness, inner struggles, and emotional vulnerability when one is faced with their own devil. While the track feels the most intimate of all, Kimberly Walker has also captured the listeners’ hearts with her contagious melodies and brilliant songwriting.

“All My Love” has the tender hurt tangled in its lightheartedness, communicating a new beginning and moving on from the past pain. The groovy track is really easy to vibe with and dance to while embracing a time of healing.

“Lay Awake” is a soft and dreamful lullaby that feels like a breeze on a cool summer night. It preserves the magic of a perfect moment in which you can just fully soak into.
