Singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson will be releasing her next album, Human Again, on January 24th. The album's upbeat, optimistic track "Blood Brothers" is exclusively streaming on RollingStone.com. Ingrid says that the song became an unintentional anthem of positivity and solidarity.

"'Blood Brothers' is admittedly a 'We Are The World' song. I did not intend to write a song like that, but that's just what came out," she says. "I think I got shoulder checked one too many times in Manhattan."

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
