Ingrid Michaelson has the "you close your eyes you know it's her" type of voice. It's really soft and smooth that there is no effort needed to listen to her. Most of her songs are in the folk/pop genre. Her albums are a good mix of slow, easy listening songs as well as the upbeat type. The songs are usually accompanied by acoustic guitar, piano and some simple percussion that really makes you focus more on her really smooth effortless vocals.
So, if you're looking for some well rounded music that takes you from going slow to upbeat in a real smooth transition..then an Ingrid Michaelson album is a good pick. yes, that is the word of the day Ingrid Michaelson = Smooth.
