CD REVIEW

THE ID (MACY GRAY)
SONY MUSIC

She’s simply bewildering. Can’t get enough of that boofy hair and big-toothed grin. And that’s only her mug shot…

When she first came out with "I Try", Macy Gray instantly won over a big majority of music fans everywhere. Her pseudo-sexy, sometimes husky cries of love and loss, pleasure and pain are universal. It’s a little easier to feel bad for her sad face when she talks about losing someone to another.

Her new album, The Id, is just as fun as her first attempt…with a little more experimentation, and a lot more lyrical depth.

Well, if her songs have everything to do with the true meaning of Id, then everyone’s in for one hell of a psycho-philosophical ride. With great musical accompaniment, no doubt.
