Michellar hues the psychedelic of “Dreaming” in San Francisco and straight into pure pop effervescence with a sun drenched shift on “LET’S GO MOVE AROUND.” An instant mood lifter, this latest single is a meticulously crafted invitation to chase personal bliss through change all wrapped in a sound that is refreshingly modern, yet warmly familiar.
The track begins invitingly enough, from the get go. Rhythmic breaths are soon joined by what defines them, the irresistibly jangly guitars and dreamy, wordless vocalisations glide over. These aren’t background texture, these are texture in the service of a sparkling backbone, instantly filling the song with optimistic momentum. The soft, sliding bassline and crisp, smooth beats lock into a natural feel good groove.
The moving forward, the searching for paradise, the moving into new stages; universal words with a light, welcoming hand. But from Romania, producer Marius Alexandru gives Michellar’s vision (inspired, it says, by the accessible vibes of artists like Ed Sheeran) superb clarity. While the production on the song shines, it manages to balance the organic jangle of the guitars with spirited, spacey synths that lends depth and a modern sheen to the song, without overwhelming the core melody.
It’s hard to think of a result that would seem more natural or more like a fusion of post-punk’s rhythmic drive and pure pop melodic accessibility.It utilizes its structure to masterfully build and release energy. Synth pads swell lush, basslines bounce with infectious charm and the jangling guitars stay steady, ever present, jangling up an infectious pace. A lyric to ‘move around,’ but it runs through the music’s DNA, compelling you physically and emotionally to that feeling of awakening, to your own paradise.
There is something so pure and so unadulteratedly positive about ‘LET’S GO MOVE AROUND’. The songs are recorded in San Francisco but elevated by Alexandru’s mixing and production and it’s just polished enough, yet organic. A success story in terms of international collaboration and Michellar’s knack for filtering a spirit of renewal through an immaculately formed, three minute, uptempo pop burst. This sound that is shedding the old and stepping into the light, brightly and infectiously, is a call to motion that easily brings light to the day.
