Michelle Fabre finds beauty in grief on single, “Never Goodbye” - Interview
Michelle Fabre has long been a force in the indie pop scene, but with her latest single, “Never Goodbye,” she dials down the sparkle and lets the soul shine through. Known for her glossy production and dynamic vocal range, the Long Island native now delivers something achingly intimate—a heartfelt tribute that captures the essence of grief and the quiet resilience of love lost.
Inspired by the passing of her beloved dog Daisy, “Never Goodbye” marks a tonal shift in Fabre’s catalog. Where her previous singles glimmered with upbeat hooks and synth-heavy beats, this track leans into minimalist production, allowing her voice to take center stage. And what a voice it is—rich, reflective, and deeply human.
In our interview, Fabre opened up about the writing process, where that intimacy shows. Co-produced with a light hand, the track features a soft piano foundation, subtle strings, and ambient flourishes that evoke the bittersweet quiet of memory. It’s in these sonic spaces that the song breathes—never overwhelming the listener, but instead pulling them inward.
While the song is deeply personal, “Never Goodbye” never feels exclusive. Fabre’s strength lies in her ability to universalize pain, letting each lyric resonate with anyone who’s said farewell to a pet, a friend, a family member, or a part of themselves. The track avoids overwrought sentimentality, opting instead for clarity and grace, the kind of songwriting that shows maturity and a deepening artistic voice.
The accompanying music video, currently in production, promises to match the track’s cinematic mood. And in a nod to its emotional weight, “Never Goodbye” is slated for inclusion in filmmaker Christopher Garetano’s forthcoming docudrama—yet another stage for Fabre’s evocative storytelling to reach new audiences.
With radio spins on over 70 international stations already under her belt, Fabre is no stranger to a global stage. But “Never Goodbye” suggests something bigger than exposure—it’s an artistic turning point. One where Michelle Fabre sheds pop’s more commercial skin and reveals a songwriter capable of much more.
Every conversation with Michelle is a must listen, the same with her music, but this one felt extremely personal. Give the song a listen, enjoy our conversation, and make sure to stay tuned because much more is in the works. Enjoy!
