Independent artist, writer and producer Exzenya is quickly establishing herself as one of the most innovative creators in experimental pop music. Her latest installment is the explosive “Ugly When You Love Me”, a track that follows a successful run of singles that include “Regulator of My Dopamine” and “Scansion” amongst others. Her new song finds the psychologist playing around dance beats, harsh beams of light and a slight fury that permeates everything from production to narrative.

“Ugly When You Love Me” is engulfed in darkness and urgency, unfolding itself as a mesmerizing and confrontational story that turns beauty into decay. It’s a suffocating and challenging track even for Exzenya’s standards, especially when it comes to her unique vocal style. On her performance she sounds confident and excitable as she is constantly shifting directions ranging from crisp melodies to guttural growls that send shivers down your spine.
The chaotic production choices, however, offer a stark contrast to the vocals as everything about them is intricately calculated. Its abrasive textures create an adventurous sense of eerieness, perfectly captured by the single’s striking visuals: a single red rose bleeding and losing its vibrancy against an industrial-like background. “Ugly When You Love Me” teases that dichotomy every step of the way, finding beauty in decay just as it does the other way around too.
It’s an energetic and spirited track that places Exzenya, once again, among the most unique and intriguing musical artists since Björk. As if walking a fine line between fascination and disgust, the singer cuts through the melodies with the precision of a doctor performing an emergency procedure outside a proper hospital. It’s not sanitized or ideal, but it will end up saving your life. “Ugly When You Love Me” is unlike anything she’s done before, a dynamic and magnetic track that dares to keep going and keep breathing even in the direst of circumstances.
