It Doesn't Have to Make Sense

This vinyl LP from Ingrid Michaelson is a real gem. In just a decade, she's been incredibly productive, releasing six albums (five chart - toppers) and ten singles (eight charted). Her new album, It Doesn't Have to Make Sense, is a powerfully honest reflection of her life's ups and downs. The New York - based singer says allowing herself not to force everything to make sense was liberating. Life doesn't always follow a logical path. Her earlier hits like 'The Way I Am' and 'Maybe' have had a huge impact, from TV shows to ads. Her last two albums, Human Again and Lights Out, both reached No. 5 on the Billboard charts. The new album features the joyful 'Hell No' as an entry point. It has both heart - wrenching songs and fun tracks. It reflects a positive outlook. Michaelson approaches songwriting in a new, unguarded way. A lot of the album, inspired by her mom, is very personal. She broadens her musicianship by using evocative sounds more than just lyrics. The album makes great use of strings and harmony in its emotional laments. It's like an epic break - up album where she bids farewell to her inner demons.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your record player and drop the needle gently on the grooves. Make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, put the record back in its sleeve to protect it from dust. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Don't stack heavy objects on top of it. This album is full of different emotions, so you can listen to it when you're feeling down for some inspiration or when you just want to have a good time. Let the music take you on a journey through Ingrid Michaelson's life.
