Makaio Huizar Announces New Single "Stars" - A Haunting Meditation on Hope and Anxiety

Rising indie-pop artist continues emotional storytelling with highly anticipated track, releasing May 16, 2025
PHOENIX, AZ - April 23, 2025 - Independent singer/songwriter Makaio Huizar is set to release his newest single, Stars , on May 16, 2025, marking another emotional milestone in his fast-rising career. The track opens with ambient organ chords that set an ethereal tone, gradually building as strings and distant percussion swirl around Makaio's haunting vocal performance. A reflection on the tension between hope and anxiety, Stars offers listeners a deeply intimate listening experience, one that's both fragile and powerful.

At just 18 years old, Makaio has already built an impressive global fanbase since his 2023 debut. With streaming numbers in the hundreds of thousands, he has become one of Arizona's most promising young musical voices, known for his emotional vulnerability and honest lyrics.

" Stars is a reflection of how it feels to be caught between wanting more from life and fearing that it might not come," said Huizar. "It's about the silence in your head at night, the fears you don't say out loud, and still finding a little light in the dark."
