Stranger Things Superfan Ingrid Michaelson Is Working on an Album Inspired by the Show

Jan 23 2018 - 2:20pm

Ingrid Michaelson loves Stranger Things [1] so much that she's creating an entire album inspired by the Netflix series. The singer shared a photo of herself dressed like Eleven in a pink dress [2] and captioned it, "As you all may (or may not know) I am OBSESSED with @strangerthingstv. So obsessed, I'm writing a record inspired by the show! Release date TBA. Stay tuned my stranger babies."

Billboard reports the album is titled Stranger Songs [3], and Michaelson plans to release it around the same time as the Stranger Things season three [4] premiere, which doesn't have a confirmed date yet. In a statement, Michaelson (whose location on Twitter is the Upside Down [5]) opened up about her inspiration behind the album. Apparently it all comes down to the deep connection she felt while watching the '80s sci-fi drama.

"This show brings me back to a place of safety and comfort when everything seemed simple," she said. "Especially after losing my parents, the idea of living in that space, even for an hour at a time, is not only intoxicating, it's necessary. I started writing poems inspired by the show and I realized how connected I was to it and my childhood and to that innocence lost."

Michaelson's hauntingly beautiful voice [6] combined with eerie nostalgia sounds like a match made in music heaven, and we're excited to learn more as the singer-songwriter develops her project.
