Love, Longing, and a One-Way Trip to Forever

Michellar’s debut single “Get Me There to Church” is a tender, slow-burning ode to love’s quiet culmination, a heartfelt walk down memory lane that leads to the altar. Written by San Francisco-based artist Michelle Bond and brought to life with the collaborative efforts of producer Tobias Wilson and vocalists Helen Walford and Harrison Black, the track beautifully captures the bittersweet tension between years of togetherness and the ache for something more permanent.

There’s something warmly cinematic about this song, the kind that sneaks into your chest and settles in. Walford and Black’s vocals carry the emotional weight effortlessly, with harmonies that feel like they’ve been marinating in nostalgia and devotion. You can hear the Miranda Lambert influence peeking through in the rootsy, country textures, but Michellar isn’t here to mimic, she’s here to add her own story to the lineage.

What makes “Get Me There to Church” feel so personal is its honesty. There’s no rush, no overproduction, just the raw sincerity of a woman who lived the story she’s telling. The recording process, stretching from San Francisco to London and Staffordshire, somehow mirrors the song’s message: distance is nothing when love is real.

With this debut, Michellar doesn’t just introduce herself, she invites us into a chapter of her life. It’s intimate, authentic, and quietly unforgettable. Country fans, take note, this one’s got soul.
