Simón Villamizar just released his new single, ‘Cave’, and honestly? It doesn’t waste time trying to impress, it just draws you in. At 19 and based in Miami, Villamizar opens the track with an almost painfully sparse intro, like you’re overhearing someone who’s been silent for hours and finally decides to speak up. No gimmicks. Just presence.

‘Haunting, cinematic, restrained’

Then things get interesting. The song grows, but not in the typical “big chorus” way. Instead, it quietly builds, layering in strings, electronic textures, and a surprisingly mature sense of tension. ‘Cave’ starts as a ballad, but refuses to stay in that lane. There’s a push and pull in the arrangement, a beauty that feels fragile, like it could shatter at any moment. It’s too soon to predict where Simón Villamizar is headed, but he clearly understands pacing, tension, and drama, the art of the slow burn.
