Michellar Reclaims Her Voice with the Reflective Album “REVERIE, From Then Till Now”

“REVERIE, From Then Till Now” is not simply an album; it is the sound of a long-silenced voice finally speaking without apology. This 12-track body of work marks a deeply personal milestone for San Francisco–based artist Michellar, capturing decades of lived experience, creative restraint, and eventual release through songwriting.

The album unfolds like a diary written in melodies. Rooted in folk traditions and softened by introspective pop and acoustic textures, Michellar’s songwriting leans into honesty rather than spectacle.

What makes this record particularly compelling is its context. Michellar returned to music after a decades-long absence, reigniting her creative spirit following her acceptance into the de Young Museum Open Call Exhibition. That renewed confidence is evident throughout the album. Songs like “Reverie,” “The Letter,” and “Promise” feel intimate and unguarded, written from a place of self-acceptance rather than ambition. They speak of love, memory, reconciliation, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.

The collaboration with producer Tobias Wilson proves essential. His restrained, thoughtful production allows Michellar’s voice and storytelling to remain central, enhancing rather than overshadowing her vision. The transatlantic recording process, spanning San Francisco and the UK, adds a subtle expansiveness to the sound while maintaining emotional closeness.

“REVERIE, From Then Till Now” stands as a testament to patience, resilience, and creative faith. It reminds listeners that art does not expire, and that inner peace often arrives only after long seasons of silence. This album is not about reclaiming lost time, but honoring it and finding beauty in becoming who you were always meant to be.
