Ashia Ackov, known for her sleek vocals and jazzy style, hooks the audience in with Intoxicated. In contrast to Right Here, the previously reviewed song, this track has a darker tone and overall theme. The artist conveys emotion through the music with her stunning voice and aesthetics, blending multiple genres, such as R&B and pop, to create a fresh soundscape.
The song starts with deep, dark sounds accompanied by vocal licks from the artist. This intro sets the tone immediately, getting more intense as the tune progresses. The beat uses a smoother and slower tempo, allowing the song’s vibe versatility. The slower beat amplifies the tune’s feeling of being chill and seductive, alongside the feeling of being intoxicated or drunk. Despite being only three minutes long, this track leaves a mark on its listeners by combining the usage of the vocals and instruments to complement one another. For example, during the song’s verses, a melodic dance between the vocals and keys makes the structure dynamic while staying consistent. Intoxicated speaks about the feeling of being drunk in love, illustrated well with various electronic sounds combined with the jazzy lyrics giving listeners a sinking feeling with each note. The song ends with repeated lines, leaving a lasting impression and a memorable conclusion.
