Michigander’s “Taxi” is the Feel-Good Anthem We All Need Right Now

If you’ve been waiting for that one track to define your summer, stop looking. Michigander—the project led by singer-songwriter Jason Singer—is back with a brand new single called “Taxi” and it’s exactly the kind of anthemic, heart-on-sleeve pop-rock we’ve come to expect from him.

“Taxi” doesn’t just sound like a hit; it feels like a memory. It has that signature Michigander polish, but it keeps the raw, earnest energy that made people fall in love with his music back in the “Nineties” days.

Why “Taxi” is Hitting So Hard

The magic of Jason Singer has always been his ability to take something small and personal and turn it into a massive, stadium-filling moment. “Taxi” follows that playbook perfectly. It’s got a rhythm that sticks with you after just one listen, and a chorus that feels tailor-made for driving with the windows down.

• It’s Relatable: Singer has a knack for writing lyrics that feel like a conversation with a friend. “Taxi” is no different—it’s honest, a little vulnerable, and completely sincere.

• The Sound: It’s a bit more expansive than some of his earlier work. You can tell he’s been leveling up his production chops, creating a wall of sound that feels both huge and intimate at the same time.

• The Vibe: Whether you’re a day-one fan or just discovered him, there’s an effortless cool to this track. It feels like the natural evolution of his recent work, keeping the indie heart intact while leaning into a tighter, more pop-driven sound.

The Evolution of Michigander

It’s been incredible to watch Jason Singer grow over the last few years. Starting out in Kalamazoo, he’s turned what was once a solo bedroom project into a full-blown touring machine. Along with his band—Aaron Senor, Jake LeMond, and Connor Robertson—he’s brought that Midwest soul to massive stages like Lollapalooza and beyond.

“Taxi” shows that he isn’t slowing down. It’s part of the buildup to his new project, Over Before You Know It, and it sets a high bar for what’s coming next.
