Makari Explore the Complexities of Love on New Single “Chemistry”

Orlando, Florida’s ambient rock and alternative outfit Makari have released their latest single, “Chemistry,” via Thriller Records.

Focusing on the early stages of a relationship, “Chemistry” captures the honeymoon phase, when intense feelings of infatuation meet the fear of getting hurt. As the band explains, pursuing romantic love means taking risks, learning to trust another person and allowing them into your life, even when past experiences make it difficult.

"This track is about the delicate dance of the early stages of dating. In this honeymoon phase, intense feelings of infatuation often collide with the fear of losing those same feelings, or getting hurt," they share. "To pursue romantic love, we are asked if we have the courage to go all in: are we able to trust someone with our heart? Can we handle our ego being damaged? Are we willing to trade some of our autonomy to bring another person into the folds of our lives? We’ve all been hurt or lied to at some point in the pursuit of romantic love, and that is the subtext of “Chemistry.” The song acknowledges it’s “hard to trust someone,” but insists on leaning into love and following the heart, instead of letting fear and anxiety stop something beautiful from blossoming."

Acknowledging how hard it can be to trust someone after being hurt or lied to, Makari ultimately encourage listeners to follow their hearts rather than let fear and anxiety stand in the way of something meaningful. It’s a reminder that, while love requires vulnerability, taking that leap can be worth it.
