Under the Covers: George Ezra / Macy Gray

Your weekly dose of genre-bending with your favorite WBRU artists/songs! From the genuinely good to the what-the-hell weird, we got you covered.

It has been nearly 16 years since Macy Gray released her Grammy-winning R&B track “I Try,” yet English singer-songwriter George Ezra managed to put a refreshing twist on it. With a guitar-driven arrangement and Ezra’s bluesy voice, the cover turns out to be a pleasant surprise from the “Budapest” artist that reminds you why he’s the perfect opening act for Hozier‘s spring tour.
