With “Till I’m Drunk & Confused,” Exzenya continues to shape her reputation as one of the most refreshingly human, genre-fluid voices rising out of the independent scene. Released on November 5, 2025, the track marks the eighth single in her fast-growing catalog and stands out as a heartfelt collision between acoustic brightness and emotional truth. Built on ukulele, acoustic guitar, and crisp modern percussion, the song instantly feels warm and upbeat—but beneath that glow sits a story both sobering and painfully honest.

At its core, “Till I’m Drunk & Confused” is about losing someone because of alcohol and then confronting that loss through the same cycle of denial. That contradiction is the heart of the song: the production keeps dancing while the lyrics confess everything the narrator tried to avoid. Lines like “I’ll drink booze till I’m well past confused” and “You’re the one thing I had to lose to learn the truth about me” cut through the upbeat arrangement, giving the track a bittersweet duality that many listeners will recognize from real life. Exzenya frames emotional clarity as something that arrives only after resistance, regret, and one too many drinks.

What makes this single stand out is the sincerity. Every vocal is recorded live, without autotune, AI, or artificial smoothing—something Exzenya openly commits to as part of her creative identity. That rawness shows. Her voice sits conversationally at the center of the track, less polished than mainstream pop but far more believable. You can hear the humanity in each take, giving the upbeat groove its emotional weight.

Sonically, the single fits comfortably within folk-pop and acoustic pop, echoing the warmth of Jason Mraz, the confessional tone of Noah Kahan, and the melodic honesty of Dean Lewis. Yet Exzenya’s style remains unmistakably her own. She blends storytelling with a rhythmic, modern pulse that keeps the track replayable, even when the lyrics dig into uncomfortable territory.

The single also pushes forward her expanding album project Bar Scenes & Rumors—a multi-genre universe exploring nightlife, consequences, intimacy, and the emotional hangovers that follow. “Till I’m Drunk & Confused” represents the project’s brighter, more melodic side, capturing the moment when the bar is still lively but the truth refuses to stay hidden.

Despite being a remote, fully independent artist, Exzenya’s momentum in 2025 has been unusually strong. All eight of her singles have entered the Euro Indie Music Chart, with a 19-week consecutive run and multiple Top 10 placements. Even before its full DSP rollout, “Till I’m Drunk & Confused” has already sparked early engagement on Audiomack, SoundCloud, and RepostExchange, where creators praise its vocal clarity, upbeat feel, and emotional relatability.

Exzenya’s background in psychology and communication shows through her writing style as well. She approaches storytelling with emotional precision, building songs that feel lived-in, reflective, and rooted in real human behavior. At 56, she brings a lifetime of experience into her music, shaping a catalog defined by honesty rather than performance.

With “Till I’m Drunk & Confused,” Exzenya turns heartbreak, denial, and self-reckoning into something melodic and oddly uplifting—a song for anyone who’s ever tried to outrun their truth, only to find it waiting at the bottom of a glass.
