“Truth Over Lies”: Michellar’s Anthem for a Divided World

Emerging from the creative heart of San Francisco, Michellar delivers a stirring and socially charged single with “Truth Over Lies.” Released on October 31, 2025, this track embodies both musical sophistication and emotional urgency, standing as a modern protest anthem for turbulent times. Born from a songwriting retreat in Idyllwild, California, “Truth Over Lies” was co-written by Michelle Bond, Michael Levine, and Matthias Schmidt—a trio whose collaboration captures the tension and hope woven through today’s political and cultural climate.

From its opening chords, the song evokes the expansive sonic landscapes reminiscent of U2 and Coldplay, two bands that clearly influence Michellar’s sound. The soaring melody, driven by shimmering guitars and an anthemic rhythm section, underscores the song’s impassioned lyrics—a call for truth, unity, and moral courage in the face of corruption and deceit. Frankie El’s emotive vocal performance, recorded in South Africa, adds both texture and urgency, bridging continents in a shared plea for integrity and justice. What makes “Truth Over Lies” truly stand out is its authenticity. Rather than preaching, the song invites reflection. It channels frustration into hope, urging listeners to rise above misinformation and reclaim their collective voice.

Recorded across California and South Africa and mixed by Miles in Hollywood, the production is crisp yet organic—highlighting the song’s collaborative essence and global reach. At its core, “Truth Over Lies” is more than music—it’s a movement. It challenges complacency, empowers expression, and reminds us that truth still matters. As Michellar continues to evolve, this release cements their role as both artist and advocate—proving that meaningful art can still inspire change.

With more collaborations and releases ahead, “Truth Over Lies” sets a powerful tone for what’s to come—a reminder that when passion meets purpose, music can still move mountains.
