The first time I heard the song "Scansion" by Exzenya I understood that I was witnessing something special. It is not another normal pop song, but a well thought-out experiment of soul and passion that can be viewed in a different light after every listen. The song is about that drunken feeling when you and someone are attracted, but not on a physical level but to a near telepathic one, the feeling that you can read the other person so well.
Immediately, with the first notes, the song has created a heady atmosphere and lures you with its seductive spell. Exzenya is a vocalist of an extraordinary caliber, technically impeccable, and at the same time able to complement and not to overwhelm the emotional essence of a song. Her voice sails through Arabian scales and it takes your breath away as she swings between seductive whispers and soaring affirmations so authentically that you are simply hooked.
The aspect that impresses me the most about this song is that Exzenya finds a way of turning a literary idea into a very emotional thing. The concept of scanning of the patterns of a person, the reading of their rhythms like poems, turns to be a metaphor of that electric instant when the souls of the two people feel something important about one another. It is not invasive yet intimate and not losing its passion.
The music is an ideal accompaniment to the artistic vision of Exzenya, and the soundtrack comes out as cinematic in nature and rejuvenating at the same time. Those rhythms that have been influenced by the Spanish beat with some life-giving, and the modern pop sensibilities that do not make the track inaccessible and does not take anything away in terms of the artistic integrity.
Having decades of experience in her life, Exzenya demonstrates that there is no age factor in genuine storytelling. The psychological and behavioral analysis background that she brings to her music adds emotional intelligence to all of her notes and makes her music not only entertaining, but connecting, healing, and inspiring."Scansion" is not a song, but an experience that reminds us why we fell in love with music in the first place. It is brash, open, and impossible to forget.
