With “Can’t Get You Out of My Mind,” San Francisco artist Michellar ventures into hypnotic psychedelic territory, delivering a single that feels equally nostalgic and emotionally exposed. Released on July 24, 2026, the track explores the consuming nature of obsession, giving voice to thoughts that often remain hidden beneath the surface. Rather than masking vulnerability, Michellar embraces it, transforming deeply personal emotions into an immersive sonic experience. The result is a song that invites listeners into a dreamlike world where desire, curiosity, and reflection intertwine beneath swirling melodies and vintage-inspired textures.
Drawing inspiration from legendary acts such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Doors, Michellar collaborates with Nashville producer Michael Beckheart to craft a sound that honors psychedelic rock while maintaining a modern emotional edge. Michelle Bond’s evocative lyrics and melodies are complemented by Beckheart’s expansive production, creating a rich atmosphere that rewards repeated listens. Recorded between San Francisco and Nashville, the single underwent multiple arrangement revisions before arriving at the final version—a testament to the pair’s commitment to capturing exactly the right psychedelic mood. Every layer feels intentional, allowing the music to drift effortlessly between introspection and escapism.
As the first glimpse into a forthcoming psychedelic album scheduled for Spring 2027, “Can’t Get You Out of My Mind” signals an exciting new creative chapter for Michellar. After returning to songwriting following a decades-long hiatus and releasing an impressive catalog of music in a short period, she continues to evolve with confidence and artistic purpose. This latest release stands as a captivating blend of vintage influence, emotional honesty, and fearless experimentation, proving that some of the most compelling music comes from finally giving unspoken thoughts a voice.
“Michellar doesn’t simply revisit psychedelia—she breathes new life into it, turning obsession and vulnerability into a mesmerizing escape that lingers long after the music fades.”
