Exzenya’s new single “V.I.P.” brings the acronym back to earth. Never mind the clichés soaked in champagne about velvet ropes and bottle service. Here, it represents the Victims Impact Panel, the required programme for DUI offenders; and with that twist, the independent artist plunges us into a world where humour, grit, and consequence intersect.
Spurred on by pounding beats and unrepentant bars, “V.I.P.” turns uncomfortable truths into a hard-hitting tune that’s as cerebral as it is head-nodding. It's the edge in Exzenya’s delivery that supplies courtroom stories and mandated panels with a satirical spin, adding bite to blunt honesty for listener consumption. It's a bold approach that doesn't romanticise poor decisions but instead lays them bare with punchy storytelling and low-end hammering.
In leaning into the absurdities of consequence, Exzenya turns a mean topic inside out to make an unforgettable anthem. Whether it makes you laugh, ponder or just vibe to the beat, “V.I.P.” shows that music can be ruthlessly candid as well as infectious all at once.
Exzenya is a creative and self-sustaining author who excels in dealing with psychology, culture, and satire in music. She offers another song that avoids being politically correct. And then there is her latest project, the multi-genre work “V.I.P.,” which was written and recorded in just a week: brash, clever, and refreshingly unfiltered, it’s another link in her chain of genre-defying stories told through sound.
