San Diego-based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Estella Dawn has just unveiled her brand new single Drunk & Messy, a confessional alt-pop ballad.
The follow up to last month’s heartfelt, raw, breakup anthem Reckless, Drunk & Messy is a late-night confessional about the kind of volatile, magnetic love you can’t shake. Part craving, part self-destruction, the track captures the ache of wanting to be truly seen — even when it costs you. Estella Dawn beautifully captures an intoxicating love fueled by chaos, desire, and self-destruction. A messy, honest, and heartbreakingly seductive piece of music that is flawlessly conveyed through Estella Dawn’s powerhouse vocals.
Written, recorded, and produced by Estella, the song distills her signature blend of raw emotion and precision crafted into a vulnerable anthem built for dim rooms and long, restless drives. Apart from Estella Dawn’s stellar vocal performance, I am particularly fond of the emotive piano keys nicely intertwined with steady drum beats, rich electronic textures and rhythms that come together to create a heartfelt, emotionally-charged listening experience!
Speaking about the song, Estella Dawn said,
It’s a confessional alt-pop ballad about wanting to be seen even when it costs you — messy, honest, and heartbreakingly seductive. It’s a raw take on a magnetic relationship—part craving, part self-destruction.
