Pop singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson today released her new album Stranger Songs - a truly unique collection inspired by Netflix's pop culture phenomenon, Stranger Things(3rd season premieres July 4). Each of the 11 songs on the album were first inspired by an individual scene or overarching theme from the show, before growing into fully-fleshed out works of art, each telling a story that can be appreciated on many levels.
Next month, Michaelson will appear on both
The Today Show and
LIVE with Kelly and Ryan in promotion of
Stranger Songs. The album's flirty, palpitating lead single, "Missing You," has just passed 2 million streams and is currently #24 at Hot AC radio with over 3 million in weekly audience and growing.
Earlier this month, Michaelson announced a string of special club dates,
The Dramatic Tour, in support of
Stranger Songs.
The Dramatic Tour will make stops throughout the country, including Chicago's Vic Theatre,
Roseland Theater in Portland,
The Fillmore in San Francisco, Los Angeles'
The Wiltern and two nights at the newly reopened
Webster Hall in Michaelson's hometown of New York. Tickets to these special club dates, as well as a limited number of exclusive VIP packages, are available now through IngridMichaelson.com.
After four Top 20 albums, platinum singles, and countless song placements in everything from
Grey's Anatomy to a Google ad - all released independently on her own Cabin 24 Records - Michaelson found herself at a bit of creative standstill, adrift and seeking inspiration. The pop singer-songwriter found it again in an unexpected place, the throwback sci-fi/horror drama
Stranger Things.
"I've already made seven records, I have a lot to say. But I've said it so much from the brain and mind and soul of
Ingrid Michaelson - I wanted to create something through a different lens," shared the singer-songwriter. "There's something about
Stranger Things that's really comforting, it brings me back to my childhood. It's the best kind of escapism and I find myself seeking that now more than ever. I took inspiration from the show and the characters and all these ideas started to come to me. Every song on the record includes a reference from the show, some more specific than others, but all of the themes are universal - these are feelings everyone has."
