Ingrid Michaelson - Everybody

Ingrid Michaelson's new album, Everybody, is due out August 25th and starting yesterday, she's revealing a song a day on her myspace until the release. The album is her usual mixture of beautifully dramatic or sweetly simple ballads and peppy, bouncy, summery tunes. Whenever I listen to one of Michaelson's albums, I inevitably end up with the word "pretty" on my tongue and while in some ways this is generic word that people overuse and I therefore try to stay away from, I think it describes her music (and herself really) better than anyone else I've written about on this blog - "attractive in a delicate way" is the dictionary.com defintion, which I think is pretty perfect. There's a delicate simplicity and a certain amount of joy within her music that makes me think "pretty."
