Macy Gray: 25th Anniversary Tour

Den Grammy-vindende sangerinde Macy Gray gæster Odense som en del af sin store 25th Anniversary Tour. Koncerten markerer 25-års jubilæet for hendes gennembrudsalbum On How Life Is, som indeholdt megahittet I Try og solgte over ni millioner eksemplarer verden over.

Macy Gray er kendt for sin karakteristiske hæse vokal og særegne musikalske stil, der har trukket tråde til legender som Billie Holiday og Janis Joplin. Selvom hun i dag er en verdenskendt kunstner, var det aldrig hendes oprindelige drøm at blive en indspillende musiker:

“I’ve always been a singer, but I was never interested in being a recording artist. It happened when my husband asked me to make a demo tape for his friend and record producer Kenny Gamble. He loved it and asked if I could write some songs with him, so we did that together for about 3 years.” – Macy Gray

Udover sin solokarriere har Macy Gray arbejdet med nogle af musikhistoriens største navne. Hun har blandt andet sunget kor for Al Green, Michael Jackson, David Bowie og Prince, som senere valgte hende til at medvirke på sit album Planet Earth fra 2006. Derudover har hun bidraget til velgørende formål, herunder som frivillig på et AIDS-hospice i Los Angeles.

Med 25 år på scenen er Macy Gray stadig en af de mest unikke stemmer i moderne musik. Hendes jubilæumsturné bliver en fejring af en imponerende karriere, og koncerten i ODEON vil give publikum en sjælden chance for at opleve hendes karakteristiske stemme og musikalske nærvær i en intim setting.

Macy Gray is known for her characteristically husky vocals and distinctive musical style, which has drawn inspiration from legends such as Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin. Although she is a world-renowned artist today, it was never her original dream to become a recording artist:

“I’ve always been a singer, but I was never interested in being a recording artist. It happened when my husband asked me to make a demo tape for his friend and record producer Kenny Gamble. He loved it and asked if I could write some songs with him, so we did that together for about 3 years.” – Macy Gray

In addition to her solo career, Macy Gray has worked with some of the biggest names in music history. She has sung backing vocals for Al Green, Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Prince, who later chose her to appear on his 2006 album Planet Earth. She has also contributed to charitable causes, including volunteering at an AIDS hospice in Los Angeles.

With 25 years on the stage, Macy Gray remains one of the most unique voices in modern music. Her anniversary tour will be a celebration of an impressive career, and the concert at the Odeon will give audiences a rare chance to experience her distinctive voice and musical presence in an intimate setting.
