Kenyan singer Iyanii steps into gospel territory with “Hallelujah,” a testimony-driven single that puts his vocal conviction front and centre. The record arrives with a message of gratitude, and it leans on faith rather than force to carry its weight.
“Hallelujah” came out alongside its official music video, both landing at 12:00 PM EAT. The clip gives the song a visual layer, but the delivery does most of the work here. Iyanii reflects on the hard moments and the high points of his journey, so the mood shifts between struggle and relief. He has called it his first “Grammy-worthy record,” and that claim sets a high bar for a gospel-infused release.
What stands out is restraint. Iyanii does not rush the message, and he lets the praise build instead of forcing it. The result is a contemporary sound that still feels rooted in church tradition. It is a spiritual turn from a hitmaker, yet the songwriting stays personal rather than preachy.
