Exzenya’s latest single, “Till I’m Drunk & Confused,” is a remarkable piece of folk-pop honesty that refuses to let heartbreak become melodrama. Instead of wallowing in the wreckage of a relationship lost to the bottle, this track straps on a pair of dancing shoes and confronts the messy truth with a bittersweet, acoustic groove.
Built on the bright, kinetic energy of ukulele, acoustic guitar, and crisp, modern percussion, the music is immediately catchy, like a burst of sunlight. However, the brightness serves as a compelling contrast to the confessional lyrics. This is a narrator trying to outrun their regret, only to trip over the self-awareness they’ve been trying to drink away. The line, “You’re the one thing I had to lose to learn the truth about me,” captures this fragile moment perfectly, walking a tightrope between accountability and self-destruction.
It’s this emotional layering that makes the song so compelling. While the sound nods to the heartfelt acoustic stylings of artists like Jason Mraz or Dean Lewis, Exzenya’s conversational, honest vocal delivery—all recorded live, without auto-tune lends the track an authentic, human-first quality. Part of her evolving Bar Scenes & Rumors project, “Till I’m Drunk & Confused” is a polished, highly replayable gem. It’s the perfect song for “drinking and thinking”—a genuine emotional roadmap disguised as an irresistible pop tune.
