这张唱片应该可以买来听，不过还是等着先听听第一首single再说。她也是那种烟熏嗓子，很有质感。"Big," Macy Gray Neo-soul weirdo Macy Gray has had to deal with continually diminishing returns since the left-field success of her debut album, 1999's "On How Life Is" and its smash single "I Try." But now, with the market all of a sudden showing the love for similarly eccentric lady soulsters like Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone, the timing is right for a Gray comeback. It's hard to say what the popular response will be, but Gray and her guest stars (including Justin Timberlake, Fergie, Will.i.am and others) have delivered a delightful album, full of sumptuous soul productions and feel-good melodies ably delivered in Gray's inimitable rasp. The froggy-voiced one's alternately wistful and strident lyrics aren't much to write home about, but it doesn't really matter when the music shows such supreme attention to craft and detail. Multilayered backing vocals grace almost every track, contributing counter-melodies in a glorious game of call and response; strings swoop and soar over the shifting rhythms; driving rock riffs peek from out behind the sonic nooks and crannies. "Big" runs out of the steam a little toward the end when the music makes a more blatant bid for radio play, but until then Gray and her collaborators have made an album that recalls the shimmering, luscious work of classic Al Green and Stevie Wonder. Favorite track: "I'm So Glad You're Here" -- David Marchese 

我很内疚，刚才发现这张CD是今天才release，而我不知怎么回事在１８号居然就有了全部mp3. 完全没发现也没听，忘了谁发给我的。罪过，我还是要去买正版，简直是有预谋的陷害，现在不买也得买了。小麻要不要听呀？

小麻要不要听呀？ 作者： 上山来 2007-3-28 08:26 ========摊手,要听啦上面那首歌词好好玩

小麻，比较遗憾的是她的这个专辑还是过于照顾市场，感觉太pop, 不如Amy Winehouse，我就每天放两首在后宫里，总共也只得１２首。

恩我觉得歌词好玩,哈哈,拽拽的

我发现Macy的心理很有意思，她唱一些社会性话题的歌和Tracy Chapman的风格不一样，Tracy的歌词和演唱至少可以说是意味深长。而Macy Gray却总想把它做得游戏化，不经心，要突出玩世不恭的意图。她为什么害怕别人以为她认真呢？她仿佛在拒绝被树立成社会问题代言人的包装。

华语歌手里也有个人倾向于这样的风格，郑智化。他也试图冷眼旁观人生百态，演唱力图控制不洒狗血，使对社会现象的描述不至于沦为祥林嫂式的诉苦，然而即便如此，郑智化在表面漫不经心的掖揄冷嘲下依然流露出辛酸和悲悯。 Macy, 似乎真的麻木了一样。 郑智化－中产阶级 http://www.mediafire.com/?8kj1ztgz2el

黑人社区的问题根源太深极其复杂，象她这样把杀人等社会问题做成黑色幽默，颇有债多不愁的态度，会让人不安，

白人女歌手明显没有切肤之痛，除爱情之外，喜欢唱灵魂，救赎。如果黑暗一点就反叛，可总感觉无病呻吟。
