VIDEO PREMIERE: MACY GRAY – “OVER YOU”

In Macy Gray‘s world, music is her first language. The enigmatic songwriter delivers classicsĀ that are teeming with a history unique to her, yet wholesomely relatable. The GRAMMY award winning artist just finished her US / European tour last month, riding her 10th full length studio album, RUBY.

ā€œI think my sound reflects where I am,ā€ she exclaims. ā€œIā€™m a little olderā€¦just a little [laughs]. Iā€™ve had more experiences and influences. I want my sound to feel fresh and relevant. I feel that I was able to achieve that, and Iā€™m extremely proud of this album.ā€

‘Over You’ is a steal off the album, with swoon-worthy horns and a light hearted groove that puts you in her shoes. It’s a love song that swings like a party and dances with soul, and these visuals hit the perfect tone.

She says, “It’s so great. It’s better than any of the sophisticated, ‘profound’ video treatments you usually get from professional directors. It’s the simple love story that everyone dreams about, it’s a fun cartoon, and I just love it.”

We’re in love with Macy too, and will be spinning this album until cupid finds us a love to go with it — and even then, we’ve got the soundtrack for the afterparty.
