Macy Gray Heads to the Boulder Theater Tonight

Z2 Entertainment is proud to present Macy Gray with Special Guests at the Boulder Theater tonight, November 11th, 2015.

"These were songs that I would've probably written in another life," says Macy Gray in her trademark rasp. She's been asked to identify the common denominator linking the wildly varied songs on Covered, her stunning new collection of cover songs. "And," she continues, "they're almost all these kind of dark love songs, which is the mood I'm in right now - to sing these I-wanna-slit-my-wrists-but-I-love-you songs. They already said what I want them to say, perfectly." To the casual music fan, Macy Gray tackling a covers album might seem wholly out of left field - especially since the material she chose to reinterpret is largely drawn from indie rock tunes made over the last decade or so (Exceptions are Eurythmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again," from 1983, and Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters," from 1991.) But Covered is not your typical covers album. It deftly redefines what such an undertaking is and can be, which makes it very much a Macy Gray project.

What awards and sales figures fail to illustrate is the depth and breadth of Macy's artistry. In an industry that is increasingly stifling of real artists, she's forged her own vision, creating music that leaps genre barriers from experimental soul to alternative rock, from retro-disco to hip-hop. Her artistic integrity and innovativeness has won her fans across the world, including artists such as John Frusciante, Erykah Badu, Gang Starr, Mos Def, and Pharoah Monche, all of whom have collaborated with her.
