Exzenya - Scansion
The loud romance. Walking in college corridors, holding your lover's hand. That feeling of being wanted is exactly what listening to Scansion by Exzenya for the first time evokes. The song sounds like a good coffee blend. It sits at the crossroads of pop, alternative pop, R&B, and Spanish-influenced world music. It doesn't end there. The piece also mashes Spanish-tinged melodies, EDM energy, and nuanced elements of jazz, punk, and R&B to create a genre-defying sound. The piece is a metaphorical metatrack. Starting with the title itself, Scansion is a clever metaphor. It's when the act of scanning poetry becomes a sensual exploration of attraction. With this track, Exzenya sort of transforms a technical literary term into a sensuous device. It makes the listener feel like a lover being analyzed in rhythm and emotional cadence. The song takes us on an emotional journey that brings with it stages. You go from feeling shy to intense passion. Then comes a mutual surrender, and it's powerful and immersive, both in the way it's sung and the way it's layered. The piece does justice in capturing the heartbeat of attraction with raw warmth and vulnerability. When it comes to the song's production, tension is built organically. The music mirrors the pulse of romantic longing. The Spanish-flavoured instrumentation especially creates a very hypnotic and danceable backdrop. The song perfectly fits a movie like Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008). The blend of R&B smoothness with Spanish-tinged tunes captures two worlds meeting through attraction, just the right amount.
