Title: Macy And Her Life
Review: Macy Gray is a weird one. Her voice isn't exactly the most usual of vocal instruments, and her songs aren't the most average of sorts. Some are entirely filthy songs, like "Sex-O-Matic Venus Freak" and "Caligula", driven by dirty funk and raunchy lyrics, but then you can find a gospel track in "I Can't Wait To Meetchu". More traditional soul ballads, like her big hit "I Try" and the soulful longing of "Still" and grinding funk tracks like "Do Something" and "Why Didn't You Call Me" are peppered around the unusual, the most unsual being a track about the murder of a boyfriend's boss on "I've Committed Murder" and rejoyceful suicide note tune "The Letter". It's an unusual collection from an unusual woman, and it's great. A wonderfully fun debut record.
