5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful, June 5, 2000
By JCB (I Love Seattle!) - See all my reviews
  
Macy Gray possesses a sultry voice that lures listeners to her. Matched with lyrics that just about anyone can empathize with, I TRY invites us to sing a long with Gray and remember the last time we fell in and out of love: "Though I try to hide it,it's clear--my world crumbles when you are not near ..." The unpretentious and sparse beats and minimal background intrumentation lets us enjoy her singing without distraction. You almost want to tell her, "I know how you feel because I've been there too." I Try is an absolutely beautiful and timeless song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, May 21, 2000
By A Customer
This is a great CD. Even though her voice is some what differint I think it is a good recording. This CD would probably be most injoyable for people who are relaxed in life and want to try something new! But I think a lot of other people would like it also. This is a really great single. If you like the song I Try than you should get the Full CD! This is a great song!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bizkit beats Macy!
Although "I Try" is a cute song, I am more a Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, and Korn fan. Maybe she should hook up on the Summer Sanitarium tour. Read more
