This is the debut of the American singer Macy Gray. Her voice is a bit like that of soul diva Erykah Badu, but is rougher and at the same time a bit more girlish. The songs on On How Life Is are a mix of R&B, funk, old-fashioned soul, pop and rock. Because of that mix, the quality of the songs and her distinctive voice, Macy Gray transcends the average R&B level with a CD that was clearly
… made with great pleasure and stands out for its playfulness and freshness. She throws a small party with the opener Why didn't you Call Me, is lazy and languid on the beautiful single Do Something and I Try and irresistibly danceable with I Can't Wait to Meetchu. (WvdZ)more
