Ingrid Michaelson: Everybody

"Everybody, Michaelson’s most recent album, was released last summer and is her third studio album. 'Compared to my first album [Girls and Boys, 2006], Everybody was more thought out. Not to say it’s better or anything, but I think that separates the two of them,' Michaelson says. ... Something worth talking about is Michaelson’s hit single 'Maybe' from Everybody, a sensitive reflection of a breakup. The slow, lounge-y melodies of her music are created from the unusual addition of the ukulele. Besides her uke-playin’ skills, Michaelson’s musical interest goes back to the age of 4 when she began taking piano lessons. 'A breakup is something I feel comfortable writing about,' Michaelson says. “I’m not politically minded, so I tend to write love songs. It’s kind of my expertise at this point. I don’t think it’s the most important thing to write about relationships, but that’s what comes out.' Those emotions consume Michaelson’s songs" (Emilia Murdoch, "Music for Everybody," New Haven Advocate, 7/29/10, p. 36).
