Michellar Turns Conflict Into Fire With Her Bold and Dance Ready Single “CROSSED”

thisaktmusic

31 Dec, 2025

There are moments when frustration becomes fuel, and Michellar’s single “CROSSED” is born precisely from that volatile spark. Emerging from San Francisco’s ever-evolving creative landscape, Michellar channels raw emotion into a track that refuses to sit quietly. Instead of lingering in introspection, “CROSSED” transforms anger, disappointment, and confrontation into motion, rhythm, and release.

Written and composed by Michelle Bond and produced by Marius Alexandru, the song carries a confident Latin-infused pulse that immediately sets it apart. Subtle nods to the vibrant spirit of Gloria Estefan surface not as imitation, but as inspiration, particularly in the track’s celebratory energy and commanding groove. What began as a slower, more restrained composition evolved into a dance-driven anthem, mirroring the way emotions escalate and demand expression rather than suppression.

Michelle Bond · CROSSED featuring Lillian

The recording process itself reflects the song’s expansive mindset. Vocal demos recorded in San Francisco were transmitted digitally to Ukraine, where Lillian delivered performances guided by Michellar’s vision, before being sent to Romania for final production polish. This global collaboration adds depth to the single, reinforcing the idea that music today is borderless, instinctive, and powered by shared emotion rather than location.

“CROSSED” stands as Michellar’s final release of the year, and it feels intentionally timed. It invites listeners to dance out the weight of the past and step forward with renewed resolve. There is no sugarcoating here, only the honest acknowledgment that conflict can be transformed into clarity. With this release, Michellar proves that perspective is everything, and when emotion is set on fire, it can light the way forward.
