It seems that with every breath Michelle Bond takes she’s thinking of which genre or musical direction she should attempt next. A talented songwriter who writes sweet and meaningful songs that defy being pigeonholed into a genre, Michellar stuns me once more with ‘Conquer All With Love’.
Michellar is Michelle Bond, a singer and songwriter based in San Francisco but whose musical adventures easily transcend borders as she regularly collaborates with musicians and producers from all around the world. On her last single titled ‘Conquer All With Love’ Michellar is teaming up with Harrison Black and Christina Rntd, both based in London, and also with producer Toby from Tobias Wilson Music Ltd. Is Staffordshire where the song was produced, mixed, and mastered. This globe trotting single brings us Michellar’s take on soft rock, a sound she’s particularly gifted with due to her soft vocal texture and her thoughtful and warm lyrics.
Wearing her influences on her sleeve, Michellar is channeling the rhythmic nuance of The Police with the polished male/female vocal duet of iconic duo Sonny and Cher on ‘Conquer All With Love’, a single about walking side by side with one’s partner through everything that life has to offer, with love always leading the way. This sweet notion is coupled with a buoyant and present bass, a steady groove, a clean, open-faced guitar riff and a serene backing by gentle and floral pads. All the instrumentals are in service of the sublime vocal duet gracefully spearheading this gorgeous soft rock affair.
A quintessential singer/songwriter offering from Michelle Bond, ‘Conquer All With Love’ showcases all that she does best. A sensitive and pretty composition, a thoughtful and heartfelt lyrical gesture, and an elegant instrumental arrangement that carries it all across.
