Picture this: it’s golden hour. You’ve got a chilled drink in hand, bare feet on the porch rail, and a little record player humming in the background. The track spinning? Kelsey Blackstone’s latest release, “Someday My Prince Will Come”. And it’s everything.

Sultry, swaying, and full of heart, this isn’t your typical wide-eyed love song—it’s got bite, it’s got groove, and it knows exactly what it’s doing.


Originally known as a classic Disney ballad, “Someday My Prince Will Come” has been reimagined a hundred times—but never quite like this. Kelsey Blackstone breathes new life into the standard with a jazz-soaked spin so fresh, it’s like someone dipped the whole thing in velvet and lit a candle.


From the first few bars, you’re pulled into a dreamy haze of brushed drums, slow-burning bass, and keys that gently roll like waves. And then there’s Kelsey’s voice—gliding effortlessly over the relaxed groove, she delivers each line with warmth, wit, and just enough wink to let you know she’s in full control of this fantasy.


She sings it like a secret she already knows the answer to—and that’s the charm.


Let’s talk about that breakdown.


Just when you think the song is content to sway along in daydream land, it snaps. The rhythm section tightens, the energy picks up, and suddenly you’re in a speakeasy jam session with a band that knows how to flirt. It’s funky. It’s flirty. And it somehow manages to make longing feel… fun?


This is where Kelsey’s deep musical roots really shine. With her background in jazz voice, classical piano, and musical theatre, she knows how to let the moment breathe—then grab it and give it a twist.


One of the things that sets Kelsey Blackstone apart is how much joy lives inside her music. Even when she’s singing about yearning—for love, for connection, for someone who sees you—the delivery never dips into desperation. It’s dreamy, yes. But it’s also confident. Hopeful. Winking behind the curtain.


Kelsey’s world is full of color and groove. Whether she’s performing solo behind a piano or commanding a six-piece band, there’s an undeniable magnetism to everything she touches. And “Someday My Prince Will Come” is a masterclass in that Kelsey Blackstone glow.


Think Sara Bareilles meets Lake Street Dive in a vintage cocktail lounge with some Joss Stone swagger and a little Nashville spice. It’s nostalgic without being stuck in the past. Modern but timeless.


A recent graduate of Berklee College of Music, Kelsey’s resume is already stacked: national tours, award-winning songwriting, and opening slots for genre-blenders like Lloyiso and Mom Rock. Her sound fuses soul-pop, jazz, rock, and a free-spirited vibe that’s hard to bottle but instantly recognizable.


This isn’t paint-by-numbers pop. This is an artist with a vision—and a whole lot of fun doing it.



“Someday My Prince Will Come” is for anyone who’s ever wanted to believe in love without losing their cool. It’s for the dreamers who also have playlists full of funk. It’s a soundtrack for slow mornings, solo dance parties, and that sweet in-between space where you’re still figuring it all out—but hey, you look damn good doing it.


So go ahead—lean back, press play, and let Kelsey Blackstone remind you that love may not have shown up yet, but when it does? It better know how to groove.
