“GET ME THERE TO CHURCH” by Michellar

Hailing from San Francisco, Michellar—musical moniker of Michelle Bond—steps confidently onto the country music stage with her heartfelt debut single, “Get Me There to Church.” Released on June 27, 2025, the track is a powerful expression of enduring love and the desire to make it official. Crafted with vulnerability, warmth, and an unmistakable country twang, the single is a genuine first impression from a songwriter who wears her heart on her sleeve. Inspired by her own story and years spent in a long-term relationship, Michelle Bond reflects on the moment where love begs for more than just cohabitation. It’s about taking that final, symbolic step—walking down the aisle. And through this narrative, she delivers a message that’s personal yet universally understood: the desire for lasting connection and the courage to commit fully.

Produced by Tobias Wilson, “Get Me There to Church” features vocal performances by Helen Walford and Harrison Black, whose harmonies lend emotional depth and richness to the track. There’s a natural chemistry between the vocals that mirrors the theme of partnership at the heart of the song. From the melodic lilt of the verses to the soaring chorus, the song’s structure supports the story with an elegance that doesn’t overreach. It lets the lyrics shine. Musically, the song pays clear homage to the classic yet modern sounds of country icons like Miranda Lambert. The influence is unmistakable, yet Michellar makes it her own with a subtle blend of Americana and soft rock elements. The production, which stretches across San Francisco, London, and Staffordshire, introduces a geographical and emotional distance that only adds to the song’s longing and authenticity.

What truly makes this debut stand out is not just its sonic polish or well-executed vocals, but its sincerity. Michelle Bond isn’t chasing trends—she’s channeling a real, lived moment, and that emotional honesty is the heartbeat of the track. You don’t need to be a country fan to feel the weight of the words or the truth in the music. In a genre known for storytelling, Michellar arrives with a voice that’s both grounded and poetic. “Get Me There to Church” is more than a debut—it’s a promise that Michellar has more stories to tell, and she’s telling them with purpose.
