Early on in "Breakable," from her excellent Girls and Boys, Ingrid Michaelson muses on the fragility of the heart, in both the literal and symbolic senses--"have you ever thought about what protects our hearts--just a cage of rib bones and other various parts… we are just breakable girls and boys." Ingrid Michaelson's songs have been featured on Grey's Anatomy episodes and Old Navy commercials, and there's a good reason she keeps getting selected for such high-profile exposure--the songs on Girls and Boys are an immediately appealing blend of pop song craft and vulnerable emotion. Michaelson has a more accessible voice and presentation than contemporaries like Feist and Regina Spektor, and her piano-driven arrangements hit all the right peaks and valleys, calling on a delicate acoustic guitar here, an overdriven electric there, to highlight her alternately joyful and mournful melodies. In short, she's made a fine pop album worth checking out, even if you're not a fan of Dr. Meredith and McDreamy. --Ben Heege

1) So Impressed   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I wasn't expecting much but whoa, has this chick blown me away. I rarely buy the full album from an artist. I'm making an exception for her.

2) Great listening   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I borrowed this cd from the local library after hearing Ingrid on PBS. Decided after listening to the whole cd that I had to purchase it for my own listening library and I love it!!! Her lyrics and melodies are wonderful and appeal to all ages. I highly recommend this cd.

3) Guitar too loud   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
Her voice is sweet, but too quiet for the loud guitar behind her. I find it distracting and cluttery.

4) I love this artist!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I had not had any exposure to Ingrid, but after seeing her on a television show, I decided to listen to snips of this album, and then I bought it. I love so many of the songs on this CD. She has a very sweet, pure sound that I find appealing.

5) clever and heartfelt songwriting   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
i love this album. my husband bought it on a whim one day and we were both VERY pleasantly surprised by her depth of feeling, lovely musical compositions, strength of voice, and intelligence of lyrics. this is a constant in my ipod/cd player. it somehow manages to be both deep and lighthearted at the same time, and totally listenable over and over again. you just can't help but sing along.think ani difranco + fiona apple - excess anger = ingrid michaelson.
