Michellar “CROSSED” Single: New San Francisco Pop Release 2026

Michellar Sets the Dancefloor on Fire with New Pop Single “CROSSED”

The San Francisco music scene is witnessing the rise of a true “force of nature.” Michelle Bond, better known to the world as Michellar, has just released her latest single, “CROSSED,” a track that transforms raw, internal conflict into a high-octane dance-pop anthem.

For an artist who has penned over 140 songs in the last 24 months and released a staggering 28 singles and one EP in just one year, “CROSSED” marks a bold new peak in her prolific journey.

From Creative Conflict to Cathartic Rhythm

Every great song has a heartbeat, and for “CROSSED,” that heartbeat was born from a moment of intense frustration. Initially conceived as a slower, more brooding track following a disagreement over a creative project, Michellar made the artistic choice to shift perspective.

“Nothing is set in stone until it is on fire. With this song… that experience is now set on fire.” — Michellar

By ramping up the BPM and infusing the track with a Latin-inspired groove reminiscent of icons like Gloria Estefan, she transformed “the energy of anger” into a liberating dance experience.

A Global Collaboration Rooted in San Francisco

While Michelle Bond is a staple of the San Francisco open mic scene, her music knows no borders. “CROSSED” is a testament to modern global creativity:

  • Songwriting & Composition: Michelle Bond (San Francisco, CA)

  • Vocals: Lillian (recorded in Ukraine under Michellar’s direction)

  • Production: Marius Alexandru (Romania)

This cross-continental synergy has resulted in a track that feels both intimate and expansive, blending bright synth textures, clapped percussive shots, and a bouncy bassline that demands movement.

The Full Spectrum of Pop

Industry critics are already drawing comparisons to the greats. From the infectious energy of Katy Perry to the rhythmic mastery of Michael Jackson, Michellar is proving that pop can be both a “danceable anthem” and “emotionally resonant.”

Whether she is exploring folk-rooted warmth in songs like “The Star” or diving into psychedelic pop in “Dreaming,” her signature remains the same: unmistakably sincere storytelling.

Why “CROSSED” is the Anthem You Need Right Now

As the final release of a monumental year, “CROSSED” serves as a metaphor for letting go. It encourages listeners to take the things that “cross” them—the conflicts and the hurdles—and set them on fire to clear the path for a fresh start in 2026.

Key Highlights of Michellar’s Journey:

  • 28 Singles & 1 EP released in the last 12 months.

  • 140+ Songs Written in 2 years.

  • Visual Artist: She creates the abstract cover art for all her releases.

  • SF Community: A weekly fixture at local open mics, staying true to her grassroots origins.
