NEW YORK, NEW YORK – August 23, 2007 – New York independent artist Ingrid Michaelson will release her debut Girls & Boys on September 18 on Cabin 24 Records with distribution through RED / Original Signal. The disc is currently available digitally on iTunes (top rank #11 Pop Album, #53 for all genres). Ingrid will join Matt Nathanson during the month of October on his U.S. tour.

On May 17, Ingrid landed the plum TV spot of the season when her original song “Keep Breathing” composed specifically for ABC’s top rated drama “Grey’s Anatomy” aired over the final scene of the season finale. The following day, “Keep Breathing” was posted to her Myspace page with 55,000 plays by that night which resulted in Ingrid’s rise to become the site’s #4 unsigned artist. The track will be included in the upcoming Grey’s Anatomy Season 3 Soundtrack out on Hollywood Records in September 11.

The placement earned Ingrid a feature in the Wall Street Journal, interview on “Good Morning America” (ABC) on Friday, May 18 and a partnership with RED distribution via Original Signal to release her debut Girls & Boys to national retail outlets on September 18.

Beginning on September 20, Old Navy’s fall commercial campaign will feature Ingrid’s standout track, “The Way I Am.”

Digitally released in 2006, Girls and Boys has already garnered critical acclaim:

“Ingrid’s vulnerable voice and bittersweet tune sense grab us…” – Philadelphia Daily News

“Music on TV” Who needs radio play? Unsigned singer Ingrid Michaelson found fame when her song “Keep Breathing” was featured on the finale of Grey’s Anatomy. We don’t know McDreamy from McSteamy, but we know a perfect pop artifact when we hear one.” – Philadelphia Inquirer

“On Girls & Boys, the spooky vibe comes mostly from [Ingrid’s] lyrics, while the music is as sweetly reassuring as, well, a pop hit.” – Washington Post

“Keep Breathing” was the fourth tune by Michaelson featured on “Grey’s Anatomy,” making her this season’s most-played indie artist. Additionally, her songs have been featured on the CW’s “One Tree Hill” and ABC Family’s “Kyle XY.”

Even “Scrubs” Zach Braff is a fan, and has featured Ingrid’s music on his highly trafficked Myspace page.
