Jacksonville Kevin Driscoll is stepping with confidence, and his debut single, “Black It Out.” is a soulful and emotional journey that feels like a much-needed release of pent-up feelings.

Rather than just a typical breakup music, it serves as a way to confront and express the pain of losing something precious. The lyrics resonate deeply, allowing anyone who has experienced love and loss to find a piece of their own story within it.
What drives this music is not just its heartfelt lyrics but also the rich and layered sound that surrounds it. Driscoll took charge of writing and performing most of the track himself, but he also enlisted the help of a few talented friends to polish his vision. The amazing synth solo by Jeremiah Johnson serves as a decisive moment in the music, adding emotional depth.

Produced by sound engineer Richard Dudley at Long Jump Records, the music possesses a comforting warmth that strikes a balance between intimacy and polish. It feels personal yet substantial, drawing listeners in without sacrificing quality.
“Black It Out” is like a much-needed shout into the emptiness, a way to push back against the pain, even if just for a little while. Driscoll pours all his feelings into his voice, which is decisive yet never overwhelming. It’s the sound of someone facing challenges and continuing to move forward. In a world full of songs about heartbreak, Kevin Driscoll’s debut truly stands out. “Black It Out” introduces a storyteller who has something meaningful to share.
