Amazing Cover: "Love Lockdown" (Macy Gray)

Macy Gray reinterpreted Kanye West’s "Love Lockdown" from his fourth studio album 808s & Heartbreak and I have to say its worthy of a listen or two as she flips the record a bit. Lifted from her  Covered album, Macy's rendition samples "Buck," the 1967 Nina Simone record. Definitely a different vibe then the Kanye original, but it is an interesting choice of sonic vibes to say the least. With that said, listen after the jump and hopefully we will be hearing some new music from Macy Gray soon!

Amazing Cover: "Sex on Fire" (Macy Gray)

During SXSW, Macy Gray performed a cover of the Kings of Leon hit "Sex on Fire." Macy's raspy and soulful voice accompanies a funkier version to the rock song perfectly and Gray's interpretation is unique yet reminiscent of the Kings of Leon hit. Watch her cover bellow and Enjoy!
