Title: She Did Something, Alright...She Made a Great CD!
Review: First off, Macy Gray almost defies categorizing. I expected an Erykah Badu-type CD, but instead got a very pleasant surprise. Don't expect Lauryn Hill, either. This is music ala Atlantic Records circa 1968. In other words, this is actually MUSIC! Ms. Gray has created her own sound reminiscent of the good ole days without actually lifting the sounds of the good ole days.The fabulous "Do Something" is surrounded by other songs equally as good. Some of Macy's songs have a humorous touch--"Why Didn't You Call" and "I've Committed Murder", for instance. And, while she has a point of view, it doesn't seem as if she's hard-core out to bludgeon world with it. You will not be disappointed by her if you enjoyed "The Commitments Soundtrack", Joan Osbourne, Prince (back in the day), or if you've been searching for some sweet soul music with a little blues and ska thrown in for good measure.
