Michellar’s 'REVERIE ….FROM THEN TILL NOW' feels like a life remembered in song

There’s something quietly astonishing about 'REVERIE ….FROM THEN TILL NOW'. It unfolds like a long-held secret finally spoken aloud. This is an album shaped by patience, by years spent listening to the world rather than shouting over it, and when it finally speaks, it does so with clarity, grace, and emotional depth.

Michellar’s songwriting feels lived-in and unguarded, rooted in melody rather than trend. These songs drift between reflection and resolve, carrying the weight of experience without ever feeling heavy. There’s a gentle confidence in the way the record moves, a sense that each track knows exactly why it exists. You can hear the joy of rediscovery here, and the thrill of returning to something that once felt lost and realising it still belongs to you.

Musically, the album leans into warmth and intimacy. Acoustic textures sit comfortably beside carefully shaped arrangements, allowing the vocals to remain front and centre. Each moment is given room to breathe, as if the songs are inviting us to slow down and sit with them awhile. The collaboration with Tobias Wilson brings a subtle but crucial balance, translating Michellar’s vision into rich, emotionally grounded soundscapes without ever overshadowing her voice.

What makes 'REVERIE ….FROM THEN TILL NOW' so compelling is its sense of acceptance. This is an album that embraces time, growth, and the quiet power of finally being heard.

For an artist whose journey has taken so many turns before returning to music, this album feels like a beginning rather than a conclusion. 'REVERIE ….FROM THEN TILL NOW' is a reminder that creativity waits patiently, and when it arrives, it can emerge fully formed, honest, and deeply moving.
