Exzenya has arrive again on the scene with a refreshing and fearless song with her single, “Drunk Texting.” Based in Remote, United States, She emerges as an indie artist unafraid to mix humor with heart, wit with honesty, and storytelling with style. With a sound influenced by Doja Cat, Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, and Pink, she delivers a playful and deep song, laying the foundation for a career built on authenticity and bold creativity.
The track opens beautifully, easing us into its world with a sleek blend of pop and R&B textures. From the first notes, the production feels polished yet organic, giving Exzenya’s voice room to breathe and shine. The layered vocals sit warmly against a backdrop of smooth percussion and shimmering synths, creating an atmosphere that draws us in. It’s the kind of opening that sets the tone—not just for the song, but for the kind of artist Exzenya promises to be: captivating, personal, and original.
Thematically, “Drunk Texting” taps into a universal, often humorous truth; those regrettable late-night messages that seem to come from nowhere. Exzenya flips this all-too-relatable scenario into a clever narrative: “My phone only thinks of you, when I’ve been drinking. Next day I sober up, I start to thinking.” The satire is unmistakable, but it never loses its soulful edge. By casting the phone itself as the mischievous culprit “It’s really not my fault phone, I swear I’m a victim. My phone has a mind of its own, whenever I am drinking,” Exzenya strikes a delicate balance between comedy and confession.
Vocally, Exzenya delivers with charm and conviction. Her voice is expressive, switching effortlessly between playful exaggeration and genuine vulnerability. In moments like “Last night my phone drunk texted you,” her delivery lands with a wink, almost as if she’s letting us in on the joke, while other passages carry a more soulful weight, reflecting the embarrassment and confusion of the morning after. The repeated “You ooh who” refrain, almost chant-like, adds a catchy and quirky hook that lingers long after the song ends.
The production and instrumentation deserve equal praise. The mix and master are expertly handled, giving the track a professional sheen without losing its personal touch. Crisp drums, steady basslines, and atmospheric synths form a balanced bed for Exzenya’s vocals, while subtle layering of harmonies enriches the track’s emotional depth. There’s a pop sheen that could easily slide into radio rotation, but also a unique rawness that keeps it grounded in indie authenticity.
“Drunk Texting” does more than entertain. It introduces Exzenya as an artist who isn’t afraid to laugh at life’s messiness while turning it into art. With over 20,000 streams across 153 countries in under 50 days, her voice is already resonating far and wide. And with her upcoming album, “Bar Scenes and Rumors,” on the horizon, this is just the beginning of a promising journey.
Exzenya’s “Drunk Texting” is the kind of song that sneaks up on you, playful on the surface but layered with depth and heart. It’s satirical, soulful, and unmistakably fresh—a debut that announces her arrival with confidence and charm.
