This song grabbed me immediately. Exzenya’s voice is front and center, no filters, no pitch correction, and you can actually hear the person behind the track. The ukulele and acoustic guitar give it a warm, lived-in quality that modern pop usually skips over for something shinier.
What works here is the contradiction at the heart of it. The beat keeps bouncing, the melody’s easy to latch onto, but the lyrics are basically her admitting she’s trying to drink away feelings that won’t disappear. It’s upbeat about something pretty heavy, and somehow that works perfectly.
You get the sense Exzenya isn’t trying to be cool or fit into what radio wants. She’s 56, she’s been running businesses, and now she’s making music on her own terms. That kind of perspective shows in how she writes. She pulls from real conversations and real moments, not from some template of what a breakup song should sound like.
The whole thing is professionally recorded and mixed, but it doesn’t have that cold, calculated feel. It’s direct. It’s honest. If you like artists who actually care about the craft and aren’t worried about trends, this one’s worth your time.
