Classical meets dream pop without sounding pretentious. Michelle Bouey said hold my bow

A dream pop track from Michelle Bouey inspired by classical themes and her background as a cellist. “ode to romanticizing” unfolds at a steady pace with strings forming the mood and structure, supported by soft harmonies and pure vocals. The track promises an airy, warm influence with a mysterious aura. Bouey’s classical training clearly shapes her approach to dynamics and arrangement.

BISQUIET: the publication that makes tabloids blush.

Michelle wants to prove that classical training and dream pop aren’t sworn enemies—and honestly? She’s onto something. Her vocals know when to step back and let the arrangement breathe, which is a rare skill in an era of over-sung everything. Sure, it’s measured and reflective, but that’s the point. Not every song needs to scream for attention.
