Singer-songwriter Stefanie Michaela drops her new single and music video, ‘Anything Is Possible,’ a fearless statement about risk, heart, and self-belief. Co-written with legendary hitmakers Steve Dorff (Songwriters Hall of Fame; three-time Grammy and six-time Emmy nominee) and Michael Jay (sold over 75 million records worldwide; co-wrote and produced Martika’s worldwide #1 hit Toy Soldiers; and penned Declaration of Love for Celine Dion’s Grammy-winning Falling Into You), and produced by Grammy-winning Keith Thomas (Selena, Amy Grant, Vanessa Williams), the track, featured on Stefanie’s upcoming EP Turning Pages, pushes listeners to chase dreams, take bold chances, and believe in their own power to shape their future. The true complexity of the song lies in its simplicity, the purity of its message mirrored by the elegant, heartfelt writing and the music video’s understated yet deep
From the very first note, ‘Anything Is Possible’ captures the heart with its uplifting melody and heartfelt lyrics. Stefanie’s vocals carry a rare warmth and clarity that draws listeners in, inviting them to connect with their own dreams and aspirations. The song is both intimate and expansive, a reflection of the universal courage it celebrates. “Working with Steve Dorff has been an incredible honor,” Stefanie says. “His ability to blend emotion and melody is something I deeply admire as both a songwriter and an artist. Collaborating with Michael Jay feels effortless; he knows exactly how to shape a song so it connects deeply while still sounding fresh and timeless.”
“No matter where you are in life, you can always write the next chapter,” Stefanie says. “Believe to achieve—that’s where the magic begins.” The song encourages listeners to embrace uncertainty, pursue their passions, and trust themselves enough to try. She adds, “The real magic is knowing you have the power to turn a thought into a destiny. Believing in yourself is the first spark.”
The lyrics of ‘Anything Is Possible’ reflect this message: “Every day can be a brand new chapter / Just keep turning the pages / You’ll find what your heart’s been after / You gotta take the risk and face it… Don’t be afraid to fall / When you open your wings / Let your heart sing / You’ll find ANYTHING… IS POSSIBLE.” Stefanie’s words remind listeners that pursuing dreams, taking risks, and embracing the unknown are all part of the journey to fulfilment.
The music video brings this message to life through a warm, storybook lens. Stefanie flips through an old scrapbook and discovers a photograph of her younger self with a ballerina music box. As she gazes at the photo, it magically transforms into a living scene: the ballerina, bound by the shackles of life’s limitations, begins to break free. The little girl’s desire and passion to bring the ballerina to life finally take flight, filling the room as delicate fairy wings appear. Dressed in a glittering gown and adorned with soft, shimmering wings, the little girl embodies the pure wonder and magic of childhood.
As the video progresses, Stefanie herself appears, dressed in a flowing floor-length gown with opalescent wings and a delicate crown, stepping seamlessly into the story she has carried from her youth. “Magic isn’t fantasy—it’s focus, heart, and belief. Anything is possible when you trust yourself enough to try,” Stefanie explains. By the final chorus, she delivers her performance with the same wonder and determination, showing viewers that belief in oneself is the spark that starts every dream.
Stefanie recently partnered with City Winery Nashville on her latest single, ‘Better With Time,’ to curate her own hand-selected wines for fans, offering a chance to win exclusive packages. She has also performed live at renowned venues including The Hotel Cafe and The Mint LA, bringing her live performances to audiences across the country.
‘Anything Is Possible’ is out today (21st November) across all leading platforms. Why not check out the video below…
The woeful yet stunning combination of the piano and orchestral tones introduces ‘Sapling Tree’, the latest single from THE SPIKES, the musical project of multidisciplinary artist Iago Haussman. As the track unfolds, Iago’s deep, emotive vocals rise with intensity, anchoring the song’s emotional depth in a hauntingly beautiful sonic landscape.
Originally conceived as a meditation on the fragmented memories of a lone traveller — glimpses of love, tragedy, birth, and nostalgia —‘Sapling Tree’ evolved into something far more expansive.
Iago further explains of his latest offering: “At first it was a singular journey through a distant place. Then I thought it should be a journey through life. Many places. Life events. So, the journey becomes diverse and random… but all these random images are brought together by the chorus, which is saying, no matter how crazy everything gets, it’s all part of the tree of life. There is order in the Universe. This tree will keep on growing. Like the wind will keep blowing. The sun will keep shining. The waves will keep rolling. It’s a metaphor for everything that has certainty and will keep going,”
Following the success of his previous releases — the hypnotic ‘Dancing (In the Palm of My Hand)’, whose music video is approaching 40,000 views, and the chilling, thought-provoking ‘Guns for the Children’, with over 20,000 views — Iago continues to blur the lines between music, poetry, and visual art.
With Sapling Tree, listeners are invited not just to hear, but to feel. Every note, every lyric, carries the weight of heartbreak and resilience. Yet, within the melancholy, there is a whisper of hope — a reminder that when life is thrown into chaos, there is always something or someone to hold onto.
“The Sapling Tree provides that order in the chaos,” Haussman reflects.
So why not take a moment — and a breath — and listen below. Let ‘Sapling Tree’ root itself in you….
You may remember STEFANIE MICHAELA, who made a bold impression on the blog back in May with her breakout single ‘Stay In Your Lane’—a track that earned the blog’s Song of the Week title over on Instagram. That single marked a significant turning point in Stefanie’s life, serving as a stern soulful anthem of self-empowerment. With it, the R&B/pop songbird pushed back against the critics who judged her decision to pause her music career in order to raise her children.
Now, Stefanie returns with another powerful statement in her latest single, ‘Better With Time.’ Teaming up with Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer Nash Overstreet (Britney Spears, Meghan Trainor, Pitbull), who wrote and produced the single, she delivers a smooth yet edgy soulful-pop track, rich with hazy textures and hypnotic grooves that’s compelling from the very first note.
Beneath the toe-curling melodies and polished production lies an urgent, heartfelt message—a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever felt, or been told, that it’s “too late” to chase their dreams. ‘Better With Time’ is Stefanie’s unapologetic reminder that passion doesn’t expire, and that it’s never too late to pursue what sets your soul on fire—with ambition, conviction, and courage, no matter how intimidating the journey may seem.
“I wrote ‘Better With Time’ because I was deeply passionate about following my heart and dreams at this stage in my life,” Stefanie shares. “A dream I once thought I’d never return to came back full force—and now, I’m so eager to share it with the world. I want people to know it’s never too late to follow their dreams.”
‘Better With Time’ is the third single from Stefanie’s upcoming EP, Turning Pages — a collection of songs that not only marks a new chapter in her life, but also serves as a powerful source of motivation for anyone chasing their dreams. The EP also gives a voice to the voiceless, offering them the recognition and attention they deserve.
MARIAM DAVINA‘s new single, ‘EVERYTHING’, is a heartfelt declaration about facing hardships in life but choosing to praise God through it all in every season. It serves as a reminder that while seasons change, God does not – he is the same yesterday, today and forever. His love, grace and strength is for us. It is a song of praise, spiritual growth and unwavering faith.
Mariam draws inspiration from artists such as Mary Mary, Kierra Sheard, Koryn Hawthorne and Ahjah Walls. Growing up leading worship and ministering regularly in church, this shaped her distinctive style, her confident stage presence and developed her vocals into the powerful sound she exhibits today. Attending Elam, for college helped her solidify knowledge as an artist and in navigating the music industry.
