Girls and Boys by Ingrid Michaelson
Girls and Boys is an album by Ingrid Michaelson, released in 2006. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 19 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Way I Am”, on 9 lists with a best position of #5.
Girls and Boys, Ingrid Michaelson's second studio album, started life as a do-it-yourself release on May 16, 2006, and it got a boost the modern way when a few of its songs turned up on Grey's Anatomy. Her label, Cabin 24 Records, put it back out on September 18, 2007, and it climbed to number 62 on the Billboard 200.
This is folk-pop with its heart on its sleeve: plainspoken, quirky, sweet without going soft. "The Way I Am" is the calling card, the 2006 single that became the song she's best known for and eventually went platinum, and "Be Ok" also found its way onto the countdowns. By August 2009 the album had sold 278,000 copies in the US, not bad for a record she put out herself.
