Exzenya's “International Power” Feels Like a Bold Rap Conversation About Power and Control

Multi-talented artist Exzenya has released her new track, “International Power.” The 55-year-old singer and storyteller is known for creating music beyond borders. Her songs are inspired by topics of psychology, culture, and real-life scenarios that are relatable yet often overlooked. With a command of pop, R&B, soul, jazz, EDM, and punk genres, she crafts a unique and fresh sound every time she pens a song.

“Exzenya is the kind of hip-hop artist who isn’t afraid to experiment and push bold ideas through music.”

“International Power” opens with just a voice taking center stage, and later turns into a beast of a hip-hop track. The track also reflects on the legacy leaders leave behind, the pursuit of global recognition, and the ways power can sometimes be misused in today’s global economy. The vocal modulation throughout the track is the highlight, as it gives off the authentic hip-hop character and attitude. The conversational flow of the lyrics, almost like a direct dialogue with the listeners, complementing the two vocal tones—one sounding hesitant and the other intense and commanding, is honestly one of the most powerful moments in the song. The dynamics in the production add another layer of intensity, making the track even more powerful.
