Oh no!

I've given "Covered" a few spins now and I think the stand-outs are "Teenagers" and "Wake Up".
I also like "Creep", "Maps", "Nothing Else Matters".

Her skits with Nicole and MC Lyte are very funny.

Here is one of my fave Macy Gray songs: Demons:

Hey. Has anybody else given Macy's new album "Covered" a listen yet? I think my copy is arriving today http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I have.

I hate to say this ... but it's awful http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif

Love her. Kind of lost track after the first three albums, but I recently was given copies of her last two records and I'm exploring them.

I think she's a perfect artist to release a covers album. Her voice is distinct, and she can really make a song her own. I'm really excited to hear her cover Arcade Fire's "Wake Up."

I'm a casual listener; I only like about 10 Macy Gray songs. But still, I think she probably has the best voice in R&B. I love how unique it sound. It Ain't the Money ft. Beck (!!!) is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

it is quite like the version Marianne Faithfull did on 20th Century Blues

Macy Gray
 

Macy Gray is in my top 5 artists list, so just in case there are other hardcore fans or even casual listeners, I thought a thread should be opened because she's got a new covers album out in March.

Here is an article from Rollingstone http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...vered-20120207

^ Thank you for sharing. That was beautiful.

You're welcome.

The timing of this thread is funny, because I have been on a Macy Gray kick, totally randomly, after not having really listened to her in years. I went so far as to scope out B-sides, rarities, and soundtrack cuts, of which she has many. It's cool when you find a total gem in a really unlikely place. Like, who would have known there's a great song out there that's only available on the freakin' Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack? lol

"Time of My Life" from the 8 Mile soundtrack is also great:

Since we're talking covers, here's a song she did a few years back for the Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack--a cover of Harry Nilsson's "Don't Forget Me." Neko Case also covered it on her last album:



I really like Macy's version of this. Neko's, too.
