Kevin Olusola Can Do Everything.

The first time I watched Kevin Olusola, he was beatboxing with the group Pentatonix. I thought it was really cool. He had this calm presence in the group, holding everything together with rhythm and precision while still somehow managing to stand out. I didn’t know much about him beyond that at the time, but he clearly had a lot going on musically.

Then I found out he plays other musical instruments. And not just as a hobby—he actually plays well. And now I hear him sing. And not just sing, but release his own music. And I’m just wondering—is there anything this guy can’t do?

I stumbled across his song “Hallelujah (I Don’t Think About You)” almost by accident. I think I saw a clip somewhere and thought, “Oh, Kevin sings now?” I clicked on it out of curiosity. To be honest, the first time I heard it, I kind of brushed it off. It sounded, to me, like one of those dramatic, post-breakup songs where someone tries to sound all empowered but ends up sounding like they’re still very much in their feelings. It had that emotional edge that can come off like a tantrum if you’re not in the right mood.

So, I moved on. But for some reason, the chorus stayed in my head. A few days later, I played it again. And this time, I actually listened. And what do you know? It hit differently.

On the second listen, it didn’t feel like a tantrum. It felt like honesty. There’s something about the tone of the song that balances emotion with lightness. It’s not overly bitter. It’s not weighed down. It’s just... honest. There’s a kind of humor in it too, like he’s aware of the drama, but he’s in on the joke now. That shift is what made me pay attention.

The lyrics are clean and simple, but they land. Nothing overly poetic or cryptic—just real words, real feelings. One of the lines that made me smile was:

> “Hallelujah, I don’t think about you.”

That’s the title, sure, but the way he delivers it—over this mellow, confident groove—feels like something more than just words. It’s not bitter. It’s not fake. It’s just a moment of clarity wrapped in melody.

The production is smooth and well-balanced. It’s modern without being too trendy. You can hear that he knows what he’s doing—not just vocally, but in how the whole song is built. Everything flows easily: the pacing, the harmonies, the texture of the sound. It’s a complete track. Nothing feels rushed or overproduced. You can tell care went into it.

And then there’s his voice. I wasn’t expecting that. It’s steady, warm, and expressive. He doesn’t try to show off or do too much with it. There’s no unnecessary vocal gymnastics—just clean delivery that serves the song. That actually made me appreciate it more. It feels grounded, like he knows his voice and his message, and he’s not trying to be anyone else.

The more I listened, the more the song grew on me. It’s catchy, but not in a loud or flashy way. It sits with you. The chorus loops in your head, and then the meaning starts to sink in. It’s not a big dramatic declaration of independence—it’s quiet confidence. The kind that comes when you’ve actually moved on.

That’s what surprised me most. The first time around, I thought it was all for show. But now I hear it differently. I hear someone who has processed something and found the humor in it. Someone who can now say “hallelujah” not in bitterness, but in relief. It’s not just about getting over someone—it’s about realizing you’ve already done it.

I also appreciate that Kevin didn’t go the typical “look at me now” route. There’s no gloating. No revenge glow-up energy. It’s just real. The message is in the restraint. And the more I think about it, the more I admire how subtle it is.

“Hallelujah (I Don’t Think About You)” might not jump out at you on first listen—it didn’t for me—but give it a second chance. It’s the kind of song that grows quietly. It sneaks up on you. And suddenly, you’re humming it. Then you’re relating to it. Then you’re smiling because you’ve been there too.

Kevin Olusola may have started in the background as the rhythm guy, but this track proves he’s more than capable of holding the spotlight. He’s not just experimenting—he’s stepping confidently into his own sound. If this is any indication of where he’s heading musically, I’m definitely listening.
