Michellar Chronicles Memory, Silence, and Self-Return on REVERIE ....FROM THEN TILL NOW Album
Michellar’s album REVERIE ....FROM THEN TILL NOW is not simply a collection of songs; it is a lived narrative shaped by time, restraint, and eventual release. The twelve-track album marks a defining moment for the San Francisco–based artist, capturing a creative awakening that arrives after decades of artistic quiet. What makes this record resonate is not only its sound but the depth of experience that informs every lyric, melody, and pause.
Rooted in folk tradition yet unconfined by it, REVERIE ....FROM THEN TILL NOW draws from Michellar’s early immersion in music, Peter, Paul and Mary, James Taylor, Carole King, Bob Dylan, while also reflecting a life shaped by visual art, entrepreneurship, and personal perseverance. These songs feel reflective rather than nostalgic. They do not attempt to recreate the past, but instead acknowledge it with clarity and grace. The album sounds like a conversation with oneself, patient and unguarded.
Michellar writes from a place of acceptance rather than regret. Themes of inner peace, lost time, rediscovered voice, and emotional safety recur throughout the album, giving it cohesion without repetition. Reverie, the emotional core of the project, embodies this spirit most clearly, existing in a calm, self-aware space where the artist allows herself to simply be. Other tracks expand that narrative, touching on love, endurance, and the quiet strength found in self-recognition.

The collaboration with producer Tobias Wilson is central to the album’s success. His sensitivity to Michellar’s vision allows the songs room to breathe, never overwhelming their intimacy. Recorded between San Francisco and Staffordshire, UK, the production maintains warmth and restraint, emphasizing storytelling over spectacle. The soundscapes feel intentional, shaped to support the emotional weight of the material rather than distract from it.
What makes REVERIE ....FROM THEN TILL NOW particularly significant is its context. Michellar returned to songwriting after a forty-year hiatus, reigniting a creative voice that had been silenced by circumstance, responsibility, and self-doubt. That journey gives the album a rare authenticity. This is not music made to chase relevance; it is music made because it needed to exist.
