Michellar bids the year adieu with “CROSSED,” a bold and bodacious dance cut from a moment of raw emotion and creative rebellion. A slower feeling, a more contemplative idea, was altered by urgency and frustration into fuel, and feeling into action. The result is a song that does not dwell on conflict but achieves an elevation above it, transforming the personal fight into a source of energy and freedom.
Michellar comes to “CROSSED” with an artist’s sense of mutability and draws from the vital creative scene in San Francisco. The single plays nicely with contrast, as emotion meets movement and vulnerability meets speed. It creates a sound that somehow manages to be intimate yet oversized. The track doesn’t abrade out the original tension; rather, it heightens its strength in rhythm and invites you to feel it up close and move through your feelings at a respectful distance.
One special thing about “CROSSED” is that it was created all over the world. The recording process also serves as a document of how music is made today, using collaborators from San Francisco, Ukraine, and Romania. This cross-cultural exchange enriches the production and demonstrates how a shift in perspective can alter a song’s spirit, indeed its entire trajectory. It makes a point that creativity booms when there are no boundaries and ideas can traverse across unknown landscapes.
“CROSSED,” Michellar’s final release of the year 2025, seems to have been planned that way. It is a call to release the past and move forward with clarity and resolution. The single kicks off a new chapter, brimming with motion and new perspectives and approaches to the future. It is propelled by burning defiance and a stubborn faith in the artistic potential of possibility.
