Exzenya’s latest track “Ugly When You Love Me” is beautiful and will hits you with cold electronic beats and a voice that knows exactly where to strike. This song lives in that uncomfortable space where you finally see someone’s affection for the manipulation it always was.
The production keeps everything tight and deliberate, and every sound has a reason to be there, from the pulsing bass to the way Exzenya’s vocals slice right through the mix. She doesn’t scream or break down. She just states facts, and somehow that makes it hit harder, and you can dance to this while processing some pretty heavy realizations about toxic relationships.
Her psychology background comes through in how she dissects the whole situation. This isn’t abstract heartbreak poetry but a specific kind of realization when beauty starts to rot and you can’t unsee it anymore. The artwork with the bleeding rose captures that perfectly too.
If you’re into dark electronic pop that actually says something real about human behavior and you want to keep up with an artist who isn’t afraid to go to uncomfortable places in her music, you should definitely follow Exzenya on Instagram to catch her future releases and see what she creates next.
