Genre-blending vocalist Exzenya invites listeners on an emotionally profound journey into the science of relation through her latest single “Regulator of My Dopamine.” Released this July of 2025, the single is embedded within the current zeitgeist and is streaming on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Deezer, and Amazon Music. Exzenya demonstrates the intertwining of science and art in her sultry single, where the sleek mix of R&B and soul-infused pop vocals weaves a hypnotic blend, telling a story both centered on human emotion and mastery of IQ.
The intertwining of ultrasound and psychology has always rested in the cross, and "dopamine," the pleasure and reward neurotransmitter of a person’s brain, serves as the basis of inspiration. Opening with elegant and warming sounds, the song immediately wraps the listener in an embrace of sultry introspection. Nourished with lightly exposed fragility, the emotion the song conveys is deepened. Exzenya's voice is both smooth and exposed like her soul as it drifts atop ageless yet contemporary beats intertwined with harmonies. H.E.R. and Sade, along with a hint of Jorja Smith, meet together to form a collab, yet the product is Exzenya alone.
What differentiates “Regulator of My Dopamine” from other songs is the intelligence of the lyrics and the emotions captured. Exzenya is not merely singing about a desire. She is examining how love, at its purest and most intense, functions as a high, similar to the way designer drugs provide an addictive euphoria. The lines “You calm my storms, you match my fire” illustrate deep balance and resonance. It illustrates the unmistakable blend of psychology and poetry. Her writing reveals the power of deep experience, academic understanding, and the intuition of a storyteller for emotional arcs and the expertly crafted pacing of narrative.
Summer promotional campaigns paired with social media and behind-the-scenes content accompanied cover art that embodies the primordial and fiery essence of the piece. Yet, “Regulator of My Dopamine” goes beyond being a single; it serves as a bold statement. Exzenya, at 55, is audaciously defying the conventions of what a debut single might look like. She embraces the role of a grandmother, entrepreneur, and a world traveler; through this lens, she grounds her music in undiluted authenticity and maturity. Exzenya’s defiant boldness is something rarely found in today’s mainstream pop. She does not appeal to youth alone, as her audience spans those who have lived through, loved, lost, and continue to grow.
The influence of communications and behavioral psychology enriches Exzenya’s works with a narrative construct that is both intentional and deeply credible. This is music for contemplative souls, those who crave substance but wouldn’t mind a few bops. Her tracks “Drunk Texting” and “Scansion” alongside “Intermittent Love” paint a discography that is a constellation of emotionally intelligent tracks that span generations and cultures. “Regulator of My Dopamine” is perhaps the most intoxicating yet an unapologetic ode to love as the healthiest of addictions.
Exzenya is still working on building a one-of-a-kind brand that spans across ages, stereotypes, and genres. She goes beyond crafting songs to offer universal frameworks for living with boldness and loving with depth. Thank you, Exzenya, for crafting a track that is equally seductive and intelligent, and for honoring a neglected demographic with such unapologetic grace. “Regulator of My Dopamine” is not a mere composition. Stream it on your preferred platform, and savor the experience of relishing every beat of this daring anthem.
