Exzenya's return with a new single, “V.I.P.,” a track that veers away from personal anecdotes to explore matters of the conscious kind. Unlike many of the artist’s previous releases, this track isn’t based on lived experiences or family tales. It's merely looking back and that reality is one we have all seen too may times before -don't drink and drive.
From its opening note, “V.I.P.” grips the listener with an urgency that reflects the importance of its subject. Exzenya wields sound as not only an expression but also a reflection of society, illuminating behavior that has left untold number of individuals broken, mourning and crying out for culpability. In the process, this isn’t merely an entertainment but a message, a warning and a catharsis.
What distinguishes “V.I.P.” is its observational narrative. The song is heavy on vivid imagery and narrative weight, the sort to draw you into scenes that are raw and uncomfortably real. Exzenya doesn’t romanticize the consequences of foolhardy decision-making, there’s no glorification here, only reality. The show balances this weight with eerie melodies and a pulsing beat that underscores the urgency of its message.
For music enthusiasts looking for substance in their songs, though, “V.I.P.” is a socially-conscious anthem. It knows no bounds, and instead of playing it safe with mainstream subjects enters full force into something that's happening on a global scale. Adopting a topic like that, Exzenya presents himself as artist and storyteller focused on raising awareness in art.
As listeners stream “V.I.P.” on Spotify, they are invited to reflect, relate and reconsider. This is purpose music, a raw and pointed plea that serves as a stark reminder of how quickly one decision can resonate through lives. The fact that Exzenya can take the stories seen and turn them into a warning song, music of awareness is what makes “V.I.P.” stand from already more than decent catalog. For fans of politically aware music and anyone who wants ripping new artist finds, this is essential recounting. Exzenya is a reminder that music can makes you talk, think and feel something and ultimately, matter.
