MACY GRAY – BIG » Love Macy Gray, she’s a true maverick to me with her sound, style, and genuinely soulful raspy voice that you can’t help but love! Her 4th studio album, Big, which features guest appearences by Will.i.am (vocals, programming); Fergie , Natalie Cole (vocals) and Justin Timberlake (keyboards) will be releasing March 27. Now here are a few ripped tracks that I personally enjoyed myself starting with ‘Strange Behavior’ (lol) I was chuckling through the whole song. I could not help it, it’s real funny how she is so friggin BLUNT with it, and how she shot his ass – you have to listen! It is definitely some strange behavior in this whole bluesy karmic scenario she sings about on this record, LOL! Next is ‘Get Out’ featuring keyboard man Justin Timberlake, the rock anthem of the summer, snares, bass, cymbals – the percussion is out of this world good gawd! Then there’s ‘U Make Me’ featuring Floetry, another rock inspired record, with a heavy beat, you can bob your head to. Floetry was also a very nice touch to this one. And finally there’s ‘Shooby Doo’, yes, a very nice slow jam for you and your girl/ boy to rock to. Over all I give it a 3/5
