A soul singer from Ohio whose unconventional style and confessional tracks have kept her writing for decades.
For a quick sense of her, try 'I'm In Between' or 'Relating To A Psychopath.' They frame that voice and her raw, confessional side pretty well.
That rasp in her voice became familiar on songs like 'I'm In Between' and 'Finally Made Me Happy,' which featured Natalie Cole. Some critics have called her style unconventional and her lyrics raw, and she's faced questions about being too provocative or outspoken on social issues. But she kept writing, with tracks like 'Do Something' and 'Relating To A Psychopath' showing that confessional edge.
Macy Gray was born Natalie McIntyre in 1967 and grew up in Ohio with gospel, soul, and jazz around the house. She's put out albums like 'Big,' 'The Trouble with Being Myself,' and 'Covered,' and worked with Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, and John Legend along the way. Her band has included guitarist Todd Simon, bassist Curtis Robertson, drummer Bobby Burns, and keyboardists Justin Stanley and Darius Rucker.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
