Filmed in Brooklyn, NY, “Gave Up On Love” has a strong message that comes through as you are watching the video for the first time. Kelli wants her fans to leave the video “being open to love but to leave the love that consumes you in a negative way, behind”. Never being cheated on herself that she knows of Kelli states, “unfortunately, in this day and age, monogamy is just as shocking as infidelity. We don’t have the best role models today, in the public eye, that represent the sanctity of marriage and faithfulness”. “Gave Up on Love”, the video and the song, exist in a specific state of mind. The video is an extreme fantasized visualization of how a young person feels when they seem to be betrayed.
“Gave Up On Love” has shown great success currently at the #18 spot on Billboard’s Breakout Hot Dance Club Chart! Millions might know Kelli as the girl from Bravo’s hit reality show, NYC Prep. Growing up, Kelli was surrounded by music from all eras, which led to her debut music reflecting shimmering hints of rock n’ roll from The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, as well as strong soulful female impressions like Dusty Springfield, Janis Joplin, Pat Benatar and Stevie Nicks.
