a distorted string orchestra. Also, I divide the music that I buy at two groups - CDs I listen to at home and CDs I take to work with me. Macy Gray's vibes seemed just right for the quiet and efficient office atmosphere. Still, after listening to her album, I decided that she hasn't written anything as striking as her first hit, 'I Try'. I secretly hoped this song would be on this album as a bonus ... why not?
