Michellar – Reverie: New Single from San Francisco Pop Artist

The Homecoming: San Francisco’s Michellar Returns with New Pop Anthem ‘Reverie’

In the vibrant, ever-shifting landscape of the San Francisco arts scene, few stories are as compelling as that of Michelle Bond, known artistically as Michellar. A visual artist, garden designer, and prolific songwriter, Michellar has recently released her latest pop single, “Reverie,” a track that serves as both a musical homecoming and a testament to the enduring power of the creative spirit.

After four decades of focusing on her passions for art and landscape design, a 2023 acceptance into the prestigious DeYoung Museum Open Exhibition reignited a dormant spark. What followed was a tidal wave of musical output—over 140 songs written in just two years—culminating in the lush, cinematic sound of “Reverie.”

A Sound Forged in Authenticity

Michellar’s music is a bridge between the classic storytelling of her early influences—Peter, Paul and Mary, Carole King, and Rodgers & Hammerstein—and the polished, expansive textures of modern pop.

In “Reverie,” produced in collaboration with UK-based architect of sound Tobias Wilson, Michellar explores the “safe mental zone” where self-acceptance lives. It is a song about reclaiming one’s voice after being silenced, delivered with a soprano clarity that is simultaneously vulnerable and powerful.

“Michellar is proving herself to be more than just a talented songwriter. She is becoming a force of nature in pop music… emotionally resonant and unmistakably sincere.” — Cage Riot

From the DeYoung to the Neighborhood Open Mic

While her visual art has graced the walls of world-class museums, Michellar finds her “most happy place” in the raw, immediate environment of San Francisco’s local open mics. Every week, she hones her craft, performing hits like:

• “Warrior” – A powerful anthem of resilience.

• “September” – A heartfelt reflection on time and memory.

• “Get Me There to Church” – A soulful exploration of spiritual and emotional longing.

This grassroots dedication is what gives “Reverie” its grit. It isn’t just a pop song; it’s a chapter of a “life reboot” from an artist who treats every lyric as a window into her soul.

The Signature Style: Music Meets Fine Art

What sets Michellar apart in the digital age is her “double threat” status. As an Abstract Expressionist, she creates the cover art for all her releases, ensuring the visual identity of her music is as authentic as the melodies themselves. This fusion of sight and sound creates a multisensory experience, inviting listeners to step into the world she calls “Home.”

Whether she is drawing comparisons to the anthemic energy of Katy Perry or the genre-defying genius of Michael Jackson, Michellar remains rooted in her own truth. Her arrival in the music production realm marks the beginning of an era where passion has no expiration date.
