Ingrid Michaelson follows her muse

What a difference two years makes.

Difficult to believe Ingrid Michaelson’s much-lauded album “Girls and Boys” was released in 2006. Fans remember the album was full of tracks such as “Die Alone,” “Masochist” and “Breakable” — all great songs packed under a powerful, somber umbrella. Now along comes her most recent work, the just-released single “Parachute,” and other songs possibly for a new album planned for 2011.
