Michellar channels suspense on a cinematic Rock gem, "Dreaming"
With Dreaming, Michellar crafts another intoxicating blend of classic rock nostalgia and cinematic grandeur, delivering a track that feels as timeless as it is fresh. From its infectious opening guitar riff, which instantly evokes the mystique of a 1960s James Bond film, to its sweeping instrumentation and evocative vocals, Dreaming is the kind of transportive listening experience that lingers long after the final note fades.
The song’s recording journey spans continents, with sessions at The Women's Audio Mission Recording Studio in San Francisco and mastering done in the UK, a process that undoubtedly contributed to its rich, global sound. The meticulous production is nothing short of stunning—layered and textured, yet never overpowering, allowing Michellar’s haunting, ethereal vocals to remain front and center. She commands the track with an effortless balance of strength and vulnerability, her voice acting as both a guide and an anchor through the song’s dreamy, suspenseful atmosphere.
Instrumentally, Dreaming is a masterclass in mood-building. The lush, cinematic feel is driven by gorgeously varied instrumentation, seamlessly blending classic rock elements with orchestral flourishes that could easily score a high-stakes spy thriller. Every detail feels intentional—from the dramatic, reverberating chords that pulse like a heartbeat to the swirling, immersive production that surrounds the listener like a misty dreamscape.
Yet, for all its sweeping grandeur, the song never loses its emotional core. Beneath the intricate arrangements lies a story of longing, mystery, and intrigue, told through Michellar’s soul-stirring performance. There’s a sense of urgency and tension, a push-and-pull between reality and reverie, making Dreaming feel like a beautiful fever dream you don’t want to wake up from.
At its core, Dreaming is a song that defies time, effortlessly weaving classic influences with modern sonic storytelling. Michellar has not only crafted a stunning, cinematic rock anthem, but she’s also firmly established herself as an artist with a vision—one capable of creating music that transcends borders, genres, and eras. This isn’t just a song; it’s a world unto itself, and one worth getting lost in.
