Michellar starts a new creative phase with "Game of Love," a collaborative single that looks at how love can bend, loop, and twist like a game with no rules. The song was written during a songwriting retreat in the San Bernardino mountains. It crackles with the energy of two artists who are working together on the fly. Michellar and Rad Datsun quickly realized that they were on the same page not only in terms of style but also in terms of spirituality. This instant connection is at the emotional heart of the song. Their goal was simple: to build a world that loops where love can be fun, tough, and very, very human.
"Game of Love" sounds so new because both artists are so committed to telling the story. Instead of just skimming over ideas, they focused on the details: the small emotional shifts, the tone of the words, and how music should show a push-and-pull of connection. The finished work shows that devotion. The song sounds old, as if it couldn't have been made today. It sounds like it was meant to be covered by two friends taking turns singing verses in and out of each other's driver's seat.
The way the production was made added its own unique touch. The demos were first recorded in San Francisco and Minneapolis, then traveled across continents before Romanian producer Marius Alexandru turned them into their final form. The chemistry didn't fade away as the distance grew; it made the song's texture richer. Each place players gathered and each hand played added a different color to the emotional palette. What could have been a problem turned into strong proof that people can work together even when they are in different time zones.
Michellar keeps showing off a musical personality in "Game of Love" that is open, curious, and careful with its stories. This is what happens when artists go deeper and let the truth guide them. Michellar and Rad Datsun have made this world for us, and as we enter it, you and I go on a trip that is warm, taut, playful, and real; one of the honesty that keeps love fresh.
