Album Description
Highly anticipated 2009 album from the singer/songwriter. Everybody is the eagerly-awaited follow-up to her 2007 release, Girls and Boys, which spawned the hit single 'The Way I Am' and launched Ingrid into the mainstream consciousness. The New York Times describes Michaelson's unique musical approach as 'soulful, idiosyncratic,' while Rolling Stone loves her 'sweet but mellow lounge-pop harmonies,' and Entertainment Weekly hails Michaelson as 'a deft mistress of quirk folk: a grassroots phenomenon.' Features 12 tracks including the first single 'Maybe'.

 Michaelson's Best Thus Far August 26, 2009
Berkley Todd (New York, NY)

A huge fan of her past work, I've been anticipating the release of this album for months. My expectations were incredibly high, yet somehow, Michaelson has managed to exceed them. With this album she has finally solidified her sound, and with access to higher production values, she has made good use of the studio. This album is not over-produced, as we often see happen to many artists like her, but is excellently orchestrated on every track to achieve an effect that is simultaneously intimate and grand. These sounds would fill the largest concert hall, yet also be very in place at your local coffee shop. This is what sets this album apart from her previous work "Girls & Boys." Here, we such a much broader variety of sounds and musical colors; however, they are all distinctly Michaelson, tied together by her unique, sultry vocal quality.
All songs seem relatively simple lyrically, but upon closer examination you'll find that the lyrics actually work on many levels, using beautiful metaphors and often idiomatic phrases to achieve a deep sort of representational meaning. For example, in the stunning ballad Are We There Yet, Michaelson sings of silver linings in clouds and images of a peaceful home to create a sense of longing for a non-present simple love. Though lyrics often repeat, they do so out of necessity, reaching as deep as they can with their poignant messages of hope, love, and loss.
While there isn't a bland track on the album, standouts include Soldier, Everybody, Are We There Yet, Sort Of, The Chain, Mountain and the Sea, Locked Up, and Maybe. An absolute must have for your collection, "Everybody" may just become one of your favorites. In just a day, it has quickly become one of mine.

I've always been a fan of Ingrid Michaelson and think that she's very talented. However, with her other albums, I really got the impression that she was still searching for her niche. The music was good, and the lyrics were nice but sometimes trite. I can't listen to her older albums over and over (which is how I gadge the greatness of a singer/group/whatever). This album, on the other hand, is a lot different. I looked up all the lyrics of every song and found them, above all, clever, but also heart-wrenching in some places, funny in others, real-life, and incredibly appropriate. The music is equally catchy and lovely.
This album is a tribute to Ingrid's incredible growth as both a musician and a woman. I can only believe that in the future, she will continue in the same manner.
Great CD that I would recommend to anyone.

This girl is amazing! Every time I listen to this I pick up something new that I didn't really catch the first time. Not many albums pull that off these days so I was pleasantly surprised to have that happen. The songwriting is fantastic and the production makes it even better. She really put a great album together, one that you can listen to all the way through and be happy you did.
Amazing! October 22, 2009

This album is a little more upbeat than Ingrid's last album, but it is still AWESOME!! She is one of the most talented singers and songwriters out there!
Love it. October 22, 2009

I love this album and listened to it everyday for two weeks. I love the eukalali, the lyrics, and the up-tempo pace of the songs. 'Soldier', 'Everybody', and 'Once Was Love' are the real hits for me. Ingrid Michaelson is a wonderful blend of Pop, Folk, and Alternative. Money well spent. A real joy.
