The Star by Michellar is the experience of entering a dim room with a scent of pine and memories, with a soft light that envelops you, and does not want to release its grip. Her singing is positive and welcoming as a hand touching you at a distance of miles and drawing you nearer with each song. Her singing has a certain magic in it that expresses a certain intensity of emotion making even her mere nostalgia sound so personally restorative as she seems to be telling a secret that only the heart comprehends.
The music is timeless folk elegance, as soft as a quilt made of childhood snow, a mixture of self-exploration and an eternal swing that reminds of the gentle storytelling of Dan Fogelberg. The warm atmosphere synths blend with close-up acoustic guitars to form a minimalistic sound world that breathes, as candlelight, shimmering on the smooth walls, and silent yet alive. This calmness is enriched by the production of Toby Wilson, who restrains and warms at the same time to allow all the nuances to shine.
This is basically a song about home, family, and the light of human connection that lingers forever, and the song is a gorgeous flower of silent hope in the darkness. It reminds us about how even the smallest symbols can shed light on the hidden corners inside and leave us feeling complete and peaceful even after the last chord.
The Star is not only a holiday gift, but a gift of the heart by an artist who knows how music can heal the soul. It was like going home where I did not know I had been, as though I were held in a silence of thanks and love. It is a refuge in a busy world, a quiet lighthouse that made me feel warmer, quieter and more thankful to the simple things of our lives that shine.
