Michellar’s REVERIE …FROM THEN TILL NOW is a deeply personal album, a journey of self-discovery and creative rebirth after a 40-year hiatus from music. Each track feels like a reflection of the artist’s life—a collection of moments shaped by time, experience, and the quiet power of reclaiming one’s voice. From the opening track “It’s Another Year,” which sets a tone of hopeful reflection, to the empowering anthem “Never Say Sorry,” Michellar explores themes of love, resilience, and introspection. The album flows seamlessly, balancing tender ballads like “Intersection” and “Promise” with more upbeat, adventurous tracks like “Running Wild” and “Get Me There to Church,” where guest collaborations with Harrison Black, Helen Walford, and Gracie Lou add depth and richness to the sound.
At its core, REVERIE is an album about healing and finding peace in the process. Whether in the meditative space of the title track “Reverie” or the heartfelt vulnerability of “The Letter,” Michellar embraces both her imperfections and her strength. The simplicity of the arrangements allows her voice to shine, and the lyrics—always introspective, often cinematic—invite listeners into an intimate space of reflection. Michellar’s songwriting feels deeply autobiographical, but its honesty and vulnerability make it accessible, capturing emotions that anyone who’s ever experienced loss, love, or self-doubt can connect with.
The album’s production, guided by Tobias Wilson, is patient and organic, allowing each song room to breathe without ever feeling overproduced. There’s a spiritual energy that permeates tracks like “Conquer All with Love,” where love is portrayed not as a passive force but as an active, transformative power. Ultimately, REVERIE …FROM THEN TILL NOW is an album of hope and resilience—a celebration of the power of music to heal, connect, and create meaning, no matter where you are in life’s journey.
