Today, scratchy-voiced soul singer Macy Gray releases her new album Covered, which, naturally enough, consists mostly of covers. Most of those covers are fairly WTF in nature, including a version of Colbie Callait's "Bubbly" that features motherfucking Idris Elba. Stringer Bell! Singing "Bubbly"! And below, we've got streams of Gray's versions of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps," Radiohead's "Creep," and Arcade Fire's "Wake Up," as well as the tracklist.
