在【Covered】专辑中,Macy Gray将原本深获不同类型音乐乐迷喜爱的歌曲来个微妙的改造,在保有原曲的真实情感的同时,也在原曲的音乐结构上做点转变,让自己的歌声能有更多的演绎空间。像是透过宛如电影音乐的编曲氛围,将英国电子乐团Eurythmics英美TOP10畅销曲"Here Comes The Rain Again"中冷酷的绝望感转换成伤痛的心情;或是将加拿大摇滚名团Arcade Fire巴洛克摇滚曲"Wake Up"妆点上非洲音乐风格的打击乐与唱诗班大合唱的动人氛围;还是将纽泽西庞克乐团My Chemical Romance英国金榜第9名畅销曲"Teenagers"中青少年对于社会虐待青少年的愤怒歌词略作更动,改成家有青少年小孩的母亲抒发青少年是如何折腾他们身边的人的心情歌曲。Macy Gray同时也将经常在演唱会上选唱的Radiohead乐团名曲"Creep"中痛苦对待自我情感的情绪带入更加令人于心不忍的境界。(博客来)
