In her single “Aunque Sea Por Una Noche”, Michellar not only embarks on her Spanish language debut, but also crafts a song that radiates cultural warmth and the bittersweet tenderness of fleeting romance and identity. Collaborating with the smooth-voiced Jiji Picazo, the track becomes a vessel for a narrative as timeless as love itself, yet told with the freshness of lived experience. “Aunque Sea Por Una Noche”, which translates to “Even if it is just for one night”, explores this delicate theme with a sincerity that transcends language, weaving together melodies and memories with quiet elegance.
Recorded and engineered at the Women’s Audio Mission studio in San Francisco, the creation of “Aunque Sea Por Una Noche” became a journey of emotional and linguistic discovery. Originally written in English by Michellar, the lyrics found renewed life through Jiji’s Spanish translation a process that deepened both artists connection to their heritage. The arrangement, both smooth and captivating, pays subtle homage to timeless classics like “Bésame Mucho” as performed by legends such as Andrea Bocelli and Santana while still standing strong on its own. Produced by Lloyd Miller, the track flows with romantic flair, featuring an instrumental touch that supports, rather than overshadows, the heartfelt vocal performance.
Michellar’s musical identity is rooted in her diverse upbringing, where genres blended naturally and Latin classics echoed through her childhood home. Her Filipino and Spanish heritage shines through each note of this debut, not just as influence, but as presence. “Aunque Sea Por Una Noche” is a song that carries the emotional weight of a cherished memory not grand or theatrical, but deeply personal and unforgettable. It signals the beginning of a promising journey, as both Michellar and Jiji look forward to exploring more Spanish and Filipino songs. Rather than just recording a track, they’ve sparked a meaningful dialogue one that invites listeners to reflect on the moments that may last only a night, but leave a lifetime’s impression.
