I had to put away the bias for this one. I’ll admit, I haven’t been a huge Ingrid Michaelson fan, and it’s nothing against her or her music. I’ve just never really branched out into her genre. Let’s just say, I’m pretty happy I checked out her new album, “Human Again.”

I’m probably not going to become a die-hard fan overnight, but listening to this album has definitely opened my eyes – or in this case, my ears – to music I would have otherwise not listened to. It’s a compilation of intriguing sounds – many of which have a somewhat dark quality about them that is a far cry from previous tracks like “Be Ok” and “The Way I Am.”

This is not an album I would have normally picked up, and other than a few tracks, it probably still won’t be in my normal music rotation. But, for you true Ingrid fans out there, I’m sure you will not be disappointed with the more mature “Human Again.”

Notable tracks: “I’m Through,” “Black and Blue,” “Ghost”
