Rap-Up.com || New Music: Macy Gray – ‘Love Lockdown’ (Kanye West Cover)

Macy Gray keeps her love locked down on a jazzy cover of Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak single. The Grammy-winning artist sings her funky reinterpretation over a sample of Nina Simone’s 1967 record “Buck.” Macy’s version, along with covers of Metallica, Arcade Fire, and the Eurythmics, will appear on her Covered album, due March 26.

I like Macy. The remix is stupid, but it makes you realize how stupid the lyrics are to begin with.
