Macy Gray
Posted by: Mike Cole on 21 November 2000
Just got this a few days ago. It is in the R&B vein but the lyrics and Macy Gray's scratchy vocals kinda take it somewhere else. I may have to take a listen woodface's Jill Scott if it is along the same lines.

I saw some rather sniffy reviews of this a while ago saying that "Oh, this isn't proper black music, because it's only white people who bought it".
Which seems like utter bollocks to me.

my favourite CD for the past year is 'its real' by k-ci and jojo real r&b. listen to track 8 and it will blow yo mind-superb recording, fantastic harmonics needless to say it comes of well thru a naim. this CD is now so rare-may get it in the us by e-comm but its a must, grab it when u see it. and tell me what u think.

You
must buy Jill Scott "Who is Jill Scott" - makes Macy Gray sound like what she really is - a second rate club singer with a novelty gravel like drone.

Darren, at last another convert - best album of the year so far? I still like Miss Gray though!

Sorry guys....
someone said Macy Gray sounds like Marge Simpson and now I can't get that thought out of my head when I hear her! I'll give the Jill Scott a try.

Recently discovered this and agree. She has a great voice.
