Last year, Ingrid dipped her toe in the icy winter water with her delightful digital "Snowfall" EP. Now another artist might have just rounded that EP into a full album. But not Ingrid. So we get an entirely fresh and new album filled to the brim with guest stars like Leslie Odom, Jr., Grace VanderWaal, Will Chase, Christina Perri, and Allie Moss and Bess Rogers. In other words, exactly the supporting cast you would hope to see on an Ingrid Michaelson Christmas album.
There are two new originals on "Songs For The Season". "Looks Like A Cold, Cold Winter" gets the album off on the right foot, with a sound that harkens back to the days when "White Christmas" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" were new (they were once, you know). The other new original is "Happy, Happy Christmas", a gorgeous downtempo number that is at once sad and hopeful and is perfectly Ingrid.
Even though the sound quality on this concert clip isn't ideal, here's "Happy, Happy Christmas", if you haven't already heard it.
