Michellar returns with her latest single, “You Forgot about Me”, a 4:12 release that came out on September 11, 2026. The song features Harrison Black, with Lloyd Miller behind the production. Carmel Michelle Bond is credited as both composer and lyricist, giving the release a clear connection to Michellar’s own songwriting. Based in San Francisco, Michellar has been writing songs since she was 15. Her creative work also extends into visual art, with her own paintings used in the artwork associated with her releases. She has also been performing at open mics around San Francisco, keeping a close connection between her songwriting and live performance.
“You Forgot about Me” adds another piece to a catalog that has covered a surprisingly wide range of styles. Her work has touched on folk, chamber pop, folk pop, indie pop, singer-songwriter, Latin, and world music. That variety gives her plenty of room to explore and try different ideas from one release to the next. Her previous releases include the 2025 album “My Alma Latina”, along with songs such as “Cross My Heart”, “California Fields” and “This Chacha Is for You”. Looking at her catalog, it is clear that Michellar has never been afraid to move between different creative directions while keeping songwriting at the center of her work.
I personally like how much of Michellar’s personality is reflected in her music. Her songwriting, painting, and live performances all seem to come from the same creative place, which makes her work more interesting to follow. I also enjoyed seeing Harrison Black and Lloyd Miller involved with this release. Collaborations like this can add another dimension to an artist’s catalog and make each new release worth checking out.
If you are discovering Michellar for the first time, “You Forgot about Me” is a nice place to start. Give the single a listen, follow Michellar to keep up with her upcoming music and creative projects, and add the track to your playlist if it earns a spot in your regular rotation. Supporting independent artists can be as simple as following their work, sharing a song you enjoy, and keeping it in your playlists, and Michellar has plenty more music to discover beyond this latest release.
