Kapanlagi.com - In 2018, Kevin Riady started his career in the music industry. He created songs during the Covid quarantine in Australia. After 7 months of lockdown in Australia, this Jakarta-born singer reflected on life and the world as a whole, resulting in his fresher songs.

One of them is Kevin's second single titled Not a Love Song. The song tells about the difficulties of life in finding a place where he can be accepted.
