I've been aware of Macy Gray for a long time, long enough for me to feel old when I think back to 2001 and the inclusion of her "I Try" on many compilation records. What came after the "I Try" era was The Id, an artistically-crafted album that didn't translate well with critics, but shaped my love on obscure music back in my pre-pubescent days. The first track, "Relating to a Psychopath" sits rightfully on top, rife with jazzy elements intermingled with electronic sounds and beeps. Think of Macy here as Billie or Ella meets Deadmau5's "The Veldt." It's probably not a track for anyone, but those who enjoy it will enjoy every facet. Macy, your music is so good at keeping me company. Here's to another eleven years of your music.
