That Road of Life is firmly rooted in personal growth and memory, taking cues from some of the greatest country storytellers both classic and modern like Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift. Michelle speaks of having fun and reminiscing about the old days with the same aplomb as she confronts her own self-doubts and regrets. On highlight “I Didn’t”, she tackles the insecurities that surround creativity in a starkly honest look at an artist’s life that rummages through uncertainty and criticism.
Closing track “That Road of Life” beautifully ties every single aspect of the EP together in a warm, soft-rock inspired ballad centered around faith and perseverance. The latest EP from Michellar is an introspective piece on self-reflection in all the ways it can be, from the good to the hard to the hopeful. Initially conceptualized as the soundtrack for a summer road trip, the end result according to the artist herself was far more powerful: a musical memoir.
That Road of Life ignites the spark of joy when it’s at its lowest, and reminds us that even the best of times are fleeting. So we better enjoy the memories, because those are the only things that life lets us keep forever.
