Written with the kind of sharp, hilarious witticisms rarely seen in pop music, Miami based artist Exzenya’s debut single “Drunk Texting” makes a bold first impression while subtly showcasing the depth of her talent. Entirely written, performed, produced, and engineered by Exzenya in her own home studio, “Drunk Texting” is both a comical snapshot from her real life and a sincere musical introduction. It avoids the traps of overproduction and excessive editing, delivering something that feels raw yet polished. With stylistic influences from artists like Doja Cat, Pink, and Lady Gaga, this debut is a pop jam with a personality all its own.
The song’s structure may appear simple on the surface, but there’s complexity in the execution. Every vocal layer is performed by Exzenya herself, recorded in a homemade booth crafted from PVC pipes and soundproof blankets. Yet, the final product has a charm and clarity that only comes from full creative control. What’s even more remarkable is that she managed to write, record, and produce the entire track while battling the flu and balancing multiple business ventures something few major-label debuts can claim. Vocally, the track bursts with personality, featuring little to no reverb and a whole lot of expressive flair. It’s the kind of vibrant, unfiltered energy that would shine in a live performance.
Lyrically, the song’s power lies in its unapologetic honesty. Self-described as a track so relatable, your mom would sing it, “Drunk Texting” embraces the absurdity of a real event and turns it into a pop anthem. Lines like My son ran his truck through the hotel lobby door, Get the hell off my lawn, and the now-iconic hook, “My phone was drunk and it drunk texted you”, blend humor with heart in a way that’s instantly memorable. The writing doesn’t try too hard; it just tells the truth, and that’s what makes it work. In doing so, Exzenya sets a strong standard for what a truly independent debut can be. “Drunk Texting” is streaming now on all platforms, and Exzenya is definitely one to follow.
