Ingrid Michaelson's Everybody

| 23 Comments | No TrackBacks

I was introduced to Ingrid Michaelson quite a while ago.  The first song I heard was called The Way I Am.  I liked the song quite a bit and downloaded it on iTunes.  I listened to some of her others songs and thought they were good but I only ended up downloading the one song. 

She released another album called Everybody last August but I never heard it until last December.  I checked it out after talking with a friend and really loved it.  About a month ago I went and bought the album.  I have been listening to it a ton at work ever since.  I find her music very happy and calming so it helps to destress me while I'm working on something. 

Overall, I think this is a great album with a lot of great songs.  There are a lot of pop-y catchy tunes but it still has an indie feel.  There are also a few other slower, softer, sweeter songs (Are We There Yet, Sort Of, Chain) that are also really nice.  I love the variety of instruments on the album -- acoustic guitar, piano, accordian, horns, organ, etc.  There's even ukulele.
 
 

Favorite Song: Everybody  --  I had a very hard time choosing a favorite.  At the moment it happens to be this one.  The song is very upbeat and uplifting.  Very catchy chorus.  And I love the clapping.  Love, the clapping.

 
Also love:
 
Maybe --  I think this was the first song I heard off the album.  Lovely song about letting someone you love go, and hoping that maybe one day they will return to you if it was meant to be. 
 
Locked-Up  --  Another catchy tune.  I find the following lyric really amusing, "Like an angry apple tree I throw my apples if you get too close to me".  The lyrics in the song are maybe my favorite on the entire album.
 
Mountain and The Sea  --   I love the opening bit with the ukulele.  And there's more clapping!
 

 

Least Favorite Song:  Men Of Snow  --  I actually quite like the beginning of this song, the piano background and the lovely little story in the lyrics.  But then I sort of lose interest and zone out.  It fades into the background a bit.

 

 

 

 

     

 

Sidenote: I originally thought that ingrid was maybe 20 years old.  Turns out she just turned thirty in December. 

 

What do you listen to when you need to calm down, relax, improve your mood, destress, etc.?
