Indie pop dynamo Estella Dawn makes a bracing reappearance with her new single, “Drunk & Messy,” a song that’s as intoxicating as it is confessional. The song envelops listeners in a world of magnetic, destructive love, the kind that you want to fight but take leave of reason over anyway.
“Drunk & Messy” combines Estella Dawn storytelling with a modern alt-pop punch. The chorus drops early, not waiting for everyone to catch up, and it’s complemented by striking lyrics that get under your skin. The lyrics describe the addictive, messy joy of love in a way that feels both unfiltered and unforgettable. It’s a song that breathes in dimly lit rooms, lingers on late-night hazes, and stretches over long, anxiety-ridden drives where feelings are bare.
Estella is not just talented in her voice, she writes, records, and produces every aspect herself. “Drunk & Messy” is a testament to her studied craft, an artful combination of openness and precision. It’s a song about the ache of wanting to be seen, not caring how much it might cost to make that happen, and turning it into a confessional anthem as seductive as it is open.
Estella remains an unstoppable force in modern pop music, seamlessly melding soul, hip-hop, rock, and pop into a sound uniquely hers. And on “Drunk & Messy,” she’s not so much telling a story as pulling listeners into one, messy and dazzling and impossible to shake.
