CD Reviews
Genious!

"This CD is genious. It was so underated and unexcepted because pop radio refused to play it. Everyone thought Macy was a pop princess after the success of her first CD and single that won grammys. But this woman is one of the most creative artists of our time. On this release she is crazy all over the board. It's funny, it's fun, it's catchy and everyone has thought the things she's stood up to sing about even if they don't want to admit it. When you listen to this CD, come at it with an angle of fun! Music is here to inspire and play with. Enjoy it, like Macy does!"

"I hear George Clinton's Parliament and Prince, maybe even a touch of the Beatles here - but most of all I hear Macy Gray. Respect Sister!!! You're real. Funky, Jazzy, Souly, Bluesy - and cheesy (but the best cheese)."

"When I first heard Macy Gray's voice, I feared that the mass public would jump on her bandwagon because of her unique vocal styling then dump her by her second disc. I truly enjoyed her debut disc for the more soulful vibe but this one definitely had to grow on me because it exposed a lot more of her vocal weaknesses than her debut did. But what she lacks in vocal prowess was more than made up for in the funky production of the overall disc.
My favorite tracks are: SWEET BABY, DON'T COME AROUND, FORGIVENESS, SEXUAL REVOLUTION & RELATING TO A PSYCHOPATH.
Two other songs that I enjoyed are: HEY YOUNG WORLD PT II & HARRY (love the organs & overall music production).
I like the comparison between Macy & Billie Holliday because both have very unique singing voices which may take the uninitiated a little time to truly appreciate but once you give yourself a chance & time to listen, I think you'll like more than you dislike."

"I was late to purchase this CD. I started my Macy collection with Big (5 stars) and decided to keep it going. I'm glad I did. I really like this CD. I didn't care for Macy's voice when she first came out with I Try, but another reveiwer mentioned that after a while it can grow on you. And it did just that. Macy is soulful and I love her style and raspy delivery. Also her lyrics are entertaining, different, funny at times.
Fave tracks:
* Gimme All Your Lovin or I Will Kill You
* Don't Come Around
* Relating to a Psychopath
* Harry
* Shed (Hidden track)
I think this CD is definitely worth picking up, especially at the price. I am thoroughly pleased! Go Macy~!
