Macy Gray The Trouble With Being Myself Pop Music CD Review

The Trouble With Being Myself is the latest release from Pop Sensation Macy Gray, and is another winner from this talented musician.The Trouble With Being Myself kicks off with an outstanding track, When I See You, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.Pop music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Victor Indrizzo and Mark Ronson plus a few other notables as well.Overall The Trouble With Being Myself is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Pop fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 - When I See You, track 3 - She Ain't Right For You, and track 12 - Every Now And ThenMy Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8 - My Fondest Childhood Memories.
