On Human Again, Michaelson's fifth studio album, the indie-pop artist takes a break from her "little ukelele songs" to experiment with an edgier sound backed by a full band. Giving up the acoustic singer/songwriter bit allows Michaelson to introduce immensely creative arrangements that span folk, soul, and even the slightest bit of '80s pop influences.
