The song Till I’m Drunk and Confused by Exzenya has a bright and bouncy beginning of the song, the type of tunes that sound pleasant to listen to immediately. It has a definite folk-pop bias, owing to ukulele and acoustic guitar, and a tempo that keeps things going along well. Being her eighth single to be released by Exzenya Productions, it is easy to believe that it is doing the right thing, and that it is upbeat at least at the surface but something bigger is going on beneath it when you persist.
It is the vocals that actually make you draw in. They are captured on the spot and are left largely unmanipulated and that sincerity does matter. You are able to detect the cracks and the feeling, which perfectly suits the theme of the song heartbreak and denial. Lyrically, it revolves around going out at night and drinking too much and not wanting to face the truth as long as possible until everything comes back to reality. It fits well into the larger Bar Scenes and Rumors project, with its more pop instincts but also a more intimate story-based folk style.
The contrast is what is working so well. The song is light and lively, and such balance makes it interesting because the message is not light. No wonder it has been gaining traction on indie charts, indie playlists. One of the songs that can be listened to immediately and at the same time remembered afterwards is Till I’m Drunk and Confused. Whether you are a fan of folk-pop with sincerity and purpose behind it, this is a must-hear and worth you should include in your list.
