Following the success of “Not Nice” and “SGMA”Remix, rising Afrofusion artist Neo 21 returns with “E”Enthralled”, a captivating new single that sets the tone for his highly anticipated debut EP, Teriqus, arriving mid-2025.
A fusion of Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, and Melodic Rap, “Enthralled” captures the intoxicating feeling of being completely drawn to someone—where body language speaks louder than words, and emotions run deep.
“This track isn’t just about one person,” Neo 21 explains. “It’s about that universal, electric moment I’m sure loads of people can relate to when attraction turns into obsession—the butterflies, the unspoken connection, the rush of something new.”
To accompany the single, Neo 21 is set to release a music video directed by Toothless Films.
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.”
Makaio’s previous singles have each highlighted his evolution as an artist. His breakout 2024 single What Am I Waiting For? — a heartbreak ballad about his first breakup — garnered over 135,000 streams on Spotify and gained radio play in the U.S. and across Europe. Follow-up singles like Town and Father further solidified his position in the indie and bedroom pop scenes, with Father debuting at 12,800 Spotify streams and earning praise for pushing Makaio outside his piano-led comfort zone into folk-pop territory.
With “Stars”, Makaio returns to his signature dreamy and reverberated vocal style while exploring more cinematic textures and lyrical depth.
