In Macy Gray‘s world, music is her first language. The enigmatic songwriter delivers classics that are teeming with a history unique to her, yet wholesomely relatable. The GRAMMY award winning artist just finished her US / European tour last month, riding her 10th full length studio album, RUBY.
“I think my sound reflects where I am,” she exclaims. “I’m a little older…just a little [laughs]. I’ve had more experiences and influences. I want my sound to feel fresh and relevant. I feel that I was able to achieve that, and I’m extremely proud of this album.”
‘Over You’ is a steal off the album, with swoon-worthy horns and a light hearted groove that puts you in her shoes. It’s a love song that swings like a party and dances with soul, and these visuals hit the perfect tone.
We’re in love with Macy too, and will be spinning this album until cupid finds us a love to go with it — and even then, we’ve got the soundtrack for the afterparty.
