Michellar issues an evocative, confident statement with this groovy dance-pop track, ‘CROSSED’!

The track, which sweeps you into thrilling, energetic pop grooves as astral synth melodies, is a noticeable, refreshing shift up from her more grounded acoustic style. Michellar shows a totally different artistic side here, which feels more primal and bold. We love it!

‘CROSSED’ opens with a swelling shimmer, leading into percussive claps with an upbeat, provocative synth harmony. The tone is one of confident assertion & wild, reckless abandon, a declaration of ‘taking your bs no more!’

Tender, looped, layered vocals (performed by Lillian) pair superbly with the energetic pop groove and melody. It gives us Kylie Minogue x Billie Ellish vibes—confident, sultry and downright captivating!

‘You have crossed my heart, I have no control over you, you have no expression on your face…” The simple yet impactful lyrics speak deeper to a breaking point, a crossing of boundaries, and a breaking of trust from which there is no return. Or Forgiveness.

Like we said, ‘CROSSED’ is definitely the most dance-pop-esque track we’ve heard from Michellar so far. She crosses into EDM pop territory with enigmatic ease and panache. And it’s truly exciting to experience how she’s able to take her difficult emotions or experiences and transmute them into such piercing, yet sonically rich and diverse, soundscapes.

The track flows with a brilliantly composed, stirring, seductive tempo and pace. From start to finish, it keeps you emotionally engaged and blissfully grooving. The balance between stirring verses that ever so gracefully build towards the crescendo is beautifully expressive & cathartic.

‘CROSSED’ would be superb to experience pretty much anywhere, be it on a crowded dance floor or somewhere more private! It hits those deep emotional tones that empower or strengthen resolve, while also hypnotizing with its captivating dance-pop sound.
