Macy Gray Says She “Failed At Conformity”
The distinctively voiced Macy Gray talks to SoulCulture TV about how she chose her stage name, her desire to record jazz and rock albums, being a jazz vocalist and her new album, The Sellout – out on June 21st via Universal.
“This was a very liberating record for me. On my last album [Big, 2007] I was a bit guided – everybody was in my ear telling me what I should do next and who I should work with,” she admits of her previous release.
In Macy’s own words, The Sellout album title refers to “How I failed at conformity at conforming and how I failed at fitting in – like I have my whole life.”
