I'm truly feelin' the jazzy soulful rhythms of Macy Gray's "Do Something." That song speaks to me and puts me in a positive frame of mind - it's like that song just exudes positivity - I love it!

If you like "I Try" you'll definitely want to pick up this single. The acoustic version from the Jo Wiley Radio Session is awesome and reveals the depth of Macy Gray's talent. While the original album version of "I Try" sounds like a woman pushed to the limit, this version sounds like the same woman resigned to her situation. If the album version made you sing along at the top of your lungs, this version may have you crying into your cosmopolitan. Highly recommended.

Definatley feeling Macy like a cool summerbreeze. You can feel the "Arrested Development" in her lazy, hazy, Billie Holiday kind of blues. Listening to Macy you'd think she's definately sat "Under a Cherry Moon" at one point or another. You can hear the influence of funk vibes of artist like The Artist Formely Know as Prince. Gotta Love her raspy style and moody grooves, Millie would be proud. Definatley the perfect addition to a late night, dim light, incense burnin, layin back in the cut, with whoever, doin whatever kind of evening. A must have in your CD collection.

Macy Gray releases "Still" as her second single
after her success of "I try". This single is
another hit: It sounds great and her voice
creates a beautiful atmosphere. It's a love
song that describes her in lyrics as a woman
in love that still melts down like a candle
when she thinks of her lover. "Still" is a
slow song with heartbreaking vocals and sounds.

This song is beautiful, and after "I TRY", it proved Macy Gray was no one hit wonder.

It's slow and soulfull, full of joy with a tiny little bit of melancholy, but not bittersweet.
There are two remixes by Attica Blues here, the first one called the X-ecutioners remix, which is a short version of the other one. Lazy trip hop, which slowes the track even more down. The long version has an intro which consists of bits of "I TRY"...this intro is kinda misleading, because u expect some more action , but then we go slo mo again.

And finally there is a nice live version of "I TRY"

In the moment I heard the track "Still", I was hypnotized by it. It's a great song and it has substance to it. It makes you think and Macy Gray is a GREAT artist.

When I first heard the song, I also fell in love with it. Not to tight on the entire album, but I will def. search out the single. Peace

When I heard this song for the first time I fell in love with it. I have know idea who Macy is but I will be finding out soon. The song is positive and very uplifting which is hard to find. The video also reflectives these feelings.
