Heartbreaks doesn’t always need to be disguised in raging percussion hits and overly-dramatic lyrics to be relatable. Michellar’s latest single Never Say Sorry takes a soft, quieter road to prove it still hurts—even more when it’s delivered in a soul-stirring voice.
Commemorating their one-year milestone in the music scene, Michellar is back with another evocative, heartfelt track that dives head first into the complexities of romantic relationships.
Never Say Sorry has that emotive flair from the first note. Before you knew it, you’re already in for a feeling that’s so common, yet hits harder than ever. There’s a sense of restraint from the vocals, gentle yet with a distinct heaviness like a lump on your throat. Its fragility floats above the steady, country textures while the rock sensibilities ensure that the track won’t be swept away by the emotions.
The simplicity in the lyrics doesn’t really strip away the weight of the words. It’s a story and a confession all at once, a very soft and honest one. It will leave you with a lingering thought, what do you want to hear from someone who betrayed you? Never Say Sorry answers that question, while narrating its aftermath—where mourning, self-discovery, and longing is present all at once. What’s more compelling is the resolution and forgiveness at the very end, showing that this isn’t just built by creativity but more on personal experiences.
Overall, the more you lean in, the more it hurts just as much because heartbreak isn’t always loud and Never Say Sorry by Michellar captures it bare.
