Michellar’s latest single “September” is a love letter to the fall season. Recorded in San Francisco and later refined by Tobias Wilson in Staffordshire, UK, the track is both contemplative and cozy, capturing a season that is winding down yet remains beautiful and moving. The single is further elevated by Helen Walford’s gorgeous vocals, which add depth and sincerity to the lyrics, leaving the tune with you long after the final chord fades. From the first delicate guitar notes to the warm, rich timbre of the voice, “September” feels like an invitation to pause, slow down, and remember the most cherished parts of autumn. It is an ode to love and memory, carrying meaning even as the world around us changes.
In many ways, “September” reflects Michellar’s early admiration for folk legends such as James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Bob Dylan. Their influence can be heard in the acoustic-driven sound and thoughtful lyricism. The song is lush without being overproduced, its words simple yet powerful, painting vivid images of shifting light and cooler air. The melody flows gently, never overshadowing the lyrics, but weaving seamlessly around them like a comforting blanket. The track lingers long after listening, resonating in both heart and mind with its timeless quality.
What makes “September” striking is its unassuming nature, yet its ability to deeply move the listener. It doesn’t try to be more than it is; instead, it stands as a simple reflection on the seasons of life and the love that endures through them all. Despite this simplicity, the song remains evocative, each line sketching vivid scenes of fading summer warmth and the crisp embrace of autumn air. Alongside the single, Michellar also prepares for upcoming art exhibits and performances this September and October, tying the release beautifully to the season it celebrates. “September” is not just a song about autumn; it is a heartfelt meditation on change, memory, and quiet acceptance.
