The long awaited launch of THE GREEN has finally arrived, and Sundance Channel just hosted a party in Los Angeles, which, in addition to the green festivities, featured live performances by two musical artists. Macy Gray performed songs from her new album: “Big”, on Geffen Records [www.geffen.com] which is currently available for sale in stores and at the iTunes online store. [phobos.apple.com] Macy Gray will be touring the world later this summer, so check back often and you will find her tour dates listed here.

For a sample of her new album, check out this video of her new single “Finally Made Me Happy,” with guest appearances by Natalie Cole and Will.i.am.
