Exzenya, an independent artist who writes songs in a variety of styles, has released her eighth single, “Till I’m Drunk & Confused,” and it also hurts, exudes, and pulses. The artist, who is known for her wide range of emotions and ability to mix genres, presents a confessional work that looks at the painful irony of losing someone to alcoholism and then dealing with that loss through the same substance.
“Till I’m Drunk & Confused” has soft acoustic textures like the warmth of a ukulele, the honesty of folk-pop, and the slow beat of indie-pop. The song’s slow, melodic beat captures the silence that follows an unavoidable truth. The narrator is dealing with the numb, circular logic of denial, where the person who broke their heart is the only thing that can make it better.
The emotional tension in the song comes from the quiet realization that when grief is your only friend, healing and self-destruction can look the same. Exzenya keeps showing off her skills as a genre-blender who isn’t afraid to look at the messier parts of dealing with things in “Till I’m Drunk & Confused.” This new release is raw, introspective, and delicate, and it shows that Exzenya is not only writing songs but also showing how complex being human is.
