JANN ARDEN Happy? (A&M) If you've been whipped by love and need a cathartic tear-letting, sad-girl singer-songwriter Arden's third album might be just the thing -- especially if you like your pain to go down easy.

Happy? is best on sparer heart-tuggers like ''Holy Moses,'' where Arden's beautiful sob isn't lost in the lushness. B
