Macy Gray | On How Life Is

If any artist out there qualifies as the voice of distinction, it’s Macy Gray.

Indeed, it’s impossible to discuss this hip-hop singer-songwriter’s stunning debut album without first discussing her equally stunning voice. As a child, she says, she was so mercilessly teased about her little-girl rasp that she stopped talking for a time; even after becoming a songwriter, she was supposedly so self-conscious she didn’t even think of singing until a woman who was supposed to record one of her songs didn’t show up at the studio. As the story goes, when Gray stepped up the mic and opened her mouth, everyone else’s jaw dropped.
