“September” marks a striking leap forward for singer-songwriter Michellar. The track reflects both artistic intimacy and global collaboration. The addition of Helen Walford’s vocals provides a powerful counterbalance, lifting the song into something quietly extraordinary.
From its opening, “September” feels tender and immediate. Soft piano chords drift into warm acoustic strums, creating a sense of early autumn light. The lyrics carry a reflective quality, where Michellar admits, “Fall is a magical time of the year… we reminisce about the summer and all of its glorious moments in the warm sun.”
The arrangement grows slowly, with subtle percussion and shimmering cymbals that underline the arc of change. Walford’s voice enters like a whispered memory, both haunting and reassuring. Each phrase seems to balance vulnerability with resilience, much like autumn itself—gentle in its fading warmth, but strong in its arrival.
What makes “September” resonate is its ability to pause time. The song mirrors cultural traditions of folk introspection, recalling the storytelling of Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, yet remains firmly modern in tone. It succeeds as both a seasonal reflection and a personal confession. Beautiful in its restraint, “September” proves Michellar’s gift lies in making the ordinary moments of life feel unforgettable.
