Rising Indie Star Zack King Releases New Single “Heaven (So Far Away)” out NOW
Zack King, a fiercely independent singer-songwriter and guitarist, left behind the bleak winters and emotional weight of Minnesota in search of a fresh start on the West Coast. Landing in Los Angeles, he poured his frustrations and longing into songwriting, resulting in his explosive pop-punk debut single, “What’s on Your Mind?” But behind the music, Zack was silently battling mental health struggles. In a courageous act of self-preservation, he sought therapy and joined a support group, confronting the stigma surrounding mental health head-on. That decision not only changed his life—it deepened his artistry.
With a renewed sense of purpose, Zack began crafting music that was more vulnerable and unfiltered than ever before. He blended his punk roots with pop-rock sensibilities to create a sound that defied labels, a sonic rebellion against industry expectations. Now preparing for a national tour, Zack isn’t just sharing songs—he’s spreading a message of emotional honesty and mental health awareness, proving that rebellion can be as much about healing as it is about breaking free.
Rising indie-pop artist Zack King continues to carve out a name for himself with his latest single, “Heaven (So Far Away),” a poignant, emotionally charged anthem that explores the ache of loving someone who always seems just out of reach. With its atmospheric production and soaring melodies, the track captures the tension between longing and resignation, wrapping heartbreak in a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s a song that hits deep—instantly resonant for anyone who’s ever felt close to something beautiful yet impossibly distant.
Written during a major personal shift in Zack’s life, “Heaven (So Far Away)” reflects the raw, introspective energy of someone trying to make sense of love and loss in real time. The shimmering alt-pop production shrouds confessional lyrics in a cinematic glow, evoking comparisons to the emotional storytelling of Lauv, the genre-bending flair of Jon Bellion, and the earnestness of The Band Camino. With each release, Zack is proving that he’s not just making music—he’s building emotional bridges, one deeply human song at a time.
