Michaelson gives more of the same

I am ambivalent about Ingrid Michaelson’s newest offering, “Everyday.” There are catchy and sweet melodies, and Michaelson does not disappoint in offering plentiful heartfelt lyrics. But nothing on this album jumps out at me. It is, in simple terms, more of the same.

You could compare it to Coldplay’s third album, “X&Y,” which received criticism for not being original or new.

There is nothing particularly wrong with sticking to the same winning formula. It is, after all, what made Michaelson famous in the first place. Her song “The Way I Am” from the 2007 album “Girls and Boys” was used in an Old Navy commercial and rocketed the independent, pop-indie artist to stardom.

There is one song that is perhaps off Ingrid’s usual beat-and-track, titled “Incredible Love.” The song has a jazzy, Sara Bareilles-sound. But that’s essentially it.
