September has always held a certain magic. Whether it’s the radiant skies that September paints across the horizon, or the iconic Green Day song, ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’. Now, joining this tradition is singer-songwriter Michellar. Her tender new single cherishes the bygone summer days and welcomes the arrival of September. San Francisco-based artist Michellar is not only a musician, but also a painter and a poet. Her music has a very grounded, earthy flavour, rooted in lived experience. September feels like a nostalgic ode to the golden days of summer. It is like a gentle reminder to move ahead with the flow and goodwill as seasons turn in their cycles.

September is backed by a minimalist, folk-acoustic arrangement that feels like it was recorded with the windows open. The track transports you just as the change in the wind does. Each verse is like a freshly pressed flower in a diary, whose smell is still present. “Summer… those days of summer. Chatter all through the night…Tall sunflowers go to seed. Next year they’ll bloom in fields.” It is in the early reminiscence of the last season that makes this song so special. Michellar captures the exact emotions of the collective. The swift arrival of September reminds us just how quickly another year is drawing to a close.
