One thing that springs to mind whenever I think of Macy Gray is wow, that girl is odd'. But even with the strange side to her, Macy makes some pretty good music! Considering that the odd one' co-produces all the tracks on her third album, being odd cannot hide her undoubted talent. A great mix of R&B, pop and dance, it gives Macey's unmistakable voice some fantastic lyrics to work with and there are so many good tunes like Come Together', 'Speechless' and Happiness' that the whole album is an instant grower. Being a spaced out oddity has definitely worked for Macey but she doesn't want to take it too far because the men in white coats are everywhere.
