I was very surprised by how Human Again opened up. ΓΓé¼┼ôFireΓΓé¼┬¥ has the lyrical prowess that sheΓΓé¼Γäós known for, however backed by a rather aggressive orchestral beats. That isnΓΓé¼Γäót the only song on here that caught my attention: ΓΓé¼┼ôBlack and BlueΓΓé¼┬¥ is backed by a rather hip-pop score, while ΓΓé¼┼ôPalm of Your HandΓΓé¼┬¥ is a driving rock song ΓΓé¼ΓÇ£ each of which contain rather bleak, emotional lyrics. The last half of this album is rather strong; Human AgainΓΓé¼╦£s first single ΓΓé¼┼ôGhostΓΓé¼┬¥ is a light, relaxing pop song that should have no problem climbing Vh1ΓΓé¼▓s music show.

Although the nice, light, poppy songs throughout the album are nice, Michaelson really excels in the slow ballads. ΓΓé¼┼ôIΓΓé¼Γäóm ThroughΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôHow We LoveΓΓé¼┬¥ are two beautiful, flowing soft songs, each really showcases IngridΓΓé¼Γäós writing skills and amazing voice. My favorite track on the album is the second to last ΓΓé¼┼ôKeep Warm,ΓΓé¼┬¥ which sounds like the perfect song that anyone can put onto a Winter season mixtape for your respective loved one.

There are a couple of tracks that didnΓΓé¼Γäót really grab me (ΓΓé¼┼ôIn the SeaΓΓé¼┬¥), but that doesnΓΓé¼Γäót take away from how catchy Human Again is. This is an album that could finally put her on the commercial level that Barielles and Perri are on right now, which I feel is well deserved and now a bit overdue. Human Again is a relaxing, emotional, and well delivered album, from front to back.
