Singer, writer, psychologist, entrepreneur, and genre-defying artist Exzenya once again digs deep into the anatomy of relationships. Ugly When You Love Me is a throw-down-the-gauntlet in this walled-up, fear-based, boundary-created world. Exzenya, in Ugly When You Love Me, unapologetically sings/bleeds the venom of poisoned love, transmuting her haunting experience into art. She puts the right words to all the emotions felt, the anger, her rage, broken heart, guilt, and the feeling of mistrust and insignificance. Exzenya dissects her relationship with microscopic precision, setting her ferocious intent to a raw, unfiltered rhythm.

The song, both lyrically and musically, plunges into the underbelly of a hurt lover’s confessional space. “I don’t know how you got me to believe. You were innocent when all you were was mean…I can′t believe I stayed until you decided you would leave”, lines such as these unmasks the deepest and darkest realisations. The music runs parallel to the words, gasping out like a release of pent-up emotions born of deceit and manipulation. This avant-garde blend of pop, textured, sharp synth, and ghostlike percussion creates a cinematic portrayal of human suffocation under emotional erosion. Exzenya’s voice is a thrilling contradiction, guttural yet fragile.
