The newest single of Michellar, Never Say Sorry is more of a turning point in the career of a songwriter rather than another release. She is based in San Francisco and has a talent of transforming raw vulnerability into the music that actually resonates and the track is evidence of how far she has come.
Even the first listen will lure you into the song with its relaxed tunes and well considered structure, where Michellar is on the verge of unleashing her vocal cords. She is gentle and strong in her delivery, you can feel the load of experience in each line, and still, there is an element of hope interwoven in the grief.
The song is unique in its combination of styles: the elements of old country storytelling mingle with the indie-folk personal stories, which is united by a subtle but attentive production of the producer Tobias Wilson. The music does not feel excessive, as the music does not ever overshadow the words that Michellar speaks.
The song is lyrically sensitive in the sense that it deals with memory, love and how relationships end up back into our lives when we do not expect it. It is sincere without being overbearing and that openness is refreshing in a world in which too many songs are cliche-filled or heavily polished. Listening is a little like having a heart to heart talk with a person who simply understands.
Michellar has been a diligent dedicated to developing her craft, with singles and open-mic nights across San Francisco, and this release reflects how much of such effort can do. Never Say Sorry is a heartfelt and substance-filled country- you know the type of song that leaves you after you have listened to it and not due to the flashiness of it but because it is real.
