Why We Don't Hear From Macy Gray Anymore

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Despite broad U.S. acclaim for her 1999 album, On How Life Is, and huge success in the U.K. with her follow-up, The Id, Gray's third album, The Trouble with Being Myself, was a major commercial disappointment. Though it reportedly fared better in Great Britain, the BBC said "her quirkiness was initially endearing" but now "tends toward cartoonishness." Gray later released a live album, a cover album, and 2007's Big, which even featured collaborations with music stars such as Justin Timberlake, Fergie, and Natalie Cole, but despite that project's critical acclaim, Gray couldn't match her early success.
