‘game of love’ by michellar is both playful and poignant – a soulful indie-pop groove that turns romance into both a risk and a reward. from its first notes, the track shimmers with nostalgia, evoking fleetwood mac’s golden-era storytelling while spinning it into something modern, sleek, and quietly cinematic.

born out of a songwriting retreat in the southern california mountains, michelle bond and brad johnson penned the song together in a burst of connection – two writers weaving melody and story like they’d known each other for years. their collaboration is the heartbeat of the track: witty, warm, and human. rad datsun’s guest vocals fold seamlessly into the mix, giving the song an added spark of texture and dialogue.

recorded across san francisco and minneapolis before being polished into final form by romanian producer marius alexandru, the track carries a subtle sense of distance, of long stretches bridged by music. but that distance dissolves in the groove, leaving only closeness – two voices trading lines in a dance of affection, teasing, and truth.

it’s a song about love as play, but also love as risk. michellar lean into the contradictions and make them sound effortless.

thank u for making this michellar 🎲❤️
