Ingrid Michaelson is a product of the MySpace revolution, contributing songs to mainstream sitcoms that you can watch without using your brains. Her forthcoming second full length Be OK is a "cash-in while she's hot" affair - albeit for a good cause, the proceeds going to Stand Up To Cancer. The album suffers from a few less memorable live cuts and a cover or two - Somewhere Over The Rainbow has been played to death, she should have been warned - but thankfully her own stuff is good enough to warrant at least a partial download from your favorite virtual shoppe.
All she needs is a bit more time to compose her own stuff and some knowledgeable punters to show her back roads of the Great American Songbook for her cover songs.
Be OK is released in the USA on CD via Original Signal. Release date: October 14th. Worldwide digital downloads available on the same date.
