Last year, Staten Island acoustic singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson warmed hearts (and shoulders) with "The Way I Am," a cutesy pop ballad where she promised her man, "If you are chilly, here, take my sweater." (The song was picked up for an Old Navy ad.) On Be OK, Michaelson's still generous: "You and I" finds her offering to buy pals dance lessons, her parents a home in France and "everybody nice sweaters" (again?!). And she's still a yawn: While the title track is a bright, finger-snapping highlight, most of Michaelson's ditties are fit for kindergarten teachers ("I can do anything I want to/I can be anything that I see," she sings on "Lady in Spain"). Good thing she's doling out sweaters — Be OK will leave you cold.
