Song Review/ Folk : Michellar’s ‘Get Me There to Church’
As a songwriter, Michellar has an expansive portfolio. She can tap into any wavelength of sound, style, genre and go from there as if it’s just another day. Her versatility makes up her discography, each song playing out with its own spirit and thematic essence. And it’s the same with her latest release, ‘Get Me There to Church’ featuring Helen Walford and Harrison Black. It is a folk pop song about falling in love with your best friend and wanting to marry him.
The composition is made to feel personal, intimate and joyful. A hopeful request for forever. Chunky ukulele plucks alongside a train of thought lyrics and warm sentiments reveal a hearty vulnerability. With confessional moments, sweet memories and a sincere intention, the song is so beautiful in its truth and simplicity. By the end of it you can’t help but root for the couple’s happy ending.
