"Truth Over Lies" is a compelling anthem that remembers honesty as the most resistant power.

Michellar is a San Francisco singer and songwriter who, after 40 years, decided to come back to music, and her return has been very touching. At the deYoung Museum Open Call Exhibition 2023, she reignited her love of music, and so far, within a span of nine months, she has written and released 22 singles. Michellar is known for her insightful lyrics and melodious, emotionally sound creations, having as influences the pop and rock of U2 and Coldplay. She marries the two genres, and the results are her records, which are happy to heal, awaken, and stimulate social reflection.
"Truth Over Lies" by Michellar with Frankie El is a very strong and aesthetically sounding layered protest song, which is both a very current and a very timeless one.

When a song expresses an idea, the truth that Michellar demands is heard in the world of the divided from the United States. The track essentially embodies a global spirit and is emotionally heavy. The song was written at a songwriting retreat in Idyllwild, California, and recorded in different places internationally. Michellar sings with a lot of soul to the large-scale sounds typical of U2 and Coldplay. At the same time, Frankie El’s rap verse gives the track some vibrancy and strength. Alone, the song characters give us a nightmare of the present and talk about the fight spirit and hope for truth, which is shared by many. The song’s refined sound, brought about by the work of producer Miles in Hollywood, is what gives it an airy, grand feel - thus it can be considered a very memorable experience apart from being an awakening call.
