Country/Review Michellar - We Both Can Fall (feat. Gracie Lou)
Michellar hails from the vibrant music scene of San Francisco, United States. She has been writing songs from the age of 15 and had a 40-year hiatus from the skill. Until recently, her songwriting craft has been ignited by a confidence-boosting acceptance to The de Young Museum Open Call Exhibition in 2023.
With “We Both Can Fall,” Michellar steps confidently into a new chapter of her artistry—one defined by emotional nuance, vocal strength, and a willingness to reveal the vulnerability beneath the pop sheen. Drawing inspiration from powerhouse voices like Kelly Clarkson, the single carries that same blend of introspection and uplift, using melody as both confession and catharsis. But rather than imitation, Michellar channels those influences into something distinctly her own: a sound shaped by personal struggle, resilience, and the quiet courage of learning to stand back up.
Recorded in San Francisco and masterfully polished in the UK, the track reflects a truly global collaboration, yet the heart of it remains undeniably intimate. Michellar delivers a performance that feels lived-in—her voice rising and falling with the emotional volatility of someone confronting old wounds while still daring to hope. Gracie Lou’s harmonies weave around her like a second heartbeat, grounding the song in a warm, human connection that deepens the narrative.
Lyrically, “We Both Can Fall” explores the delicate balance between trust and self-protection. The song recognizes that love isn’t just about soaring together—it’s also about accepting that both people are capable of stumbling, breaking, and rebuilding. This honest framing gives the chorus an especially powerful lift, transforming fear into solidarity and vulnerability into shared strength.
Polished yet heartfelt, polished yet deeply human, “We Both Can Fall” stands as Michellar’s most compelling work to date—an emotionally resonant pop moment built to stay with listeners long after the final chord fades.
