You know Ingrid Michaelson from the 'If you are chilly, here take my sweater' Old Navy commercials from three years ago. The New York singer-songwriter indicates that her fourth album consists of "completely biographical, snapshots of my life." Her lyrics hold a universal theme that makes one Be OK about unrequited love. The general upbeat tone of Everybody holds hands with her stories of emotional fragility. Michaelson's ethereal voice carries the album along with her guitar and piano. Strings add a sense of high culture to "Sort Of" and "Men of Snow." Everybody will remind you that "everybody heals with love."
