Channeling the spirit of the \"grimy\" R\u0026amp;B and smoky jazz closest to her heart, Macy made a leap forward by looking back to formative inspirations. However, she updated those elements with enriched, entrancing, and enigmatic soundscapes brought to life by producers Johan Carlsson [Michael Bublé, Maroon 5], Tommy Brown [Jennifer Lopez, Fifth Harmony, Travis Scott], and Tommy Parker Lumpkins [Janet Jackson, Justin Bieber]. Take the first single \u003ci\u003eSugar Daddy\u003c\/i\u003e. Co-written with none other than pop superstar Meghan Trainor, the track swings from jazz-y piano into a cooing verse that's as sweet as it is sassy. Her voice takes hold on the hook, \"Be my, be my sugar daddy and provide me with your candy.\" \"Meghan and I thought it be great to collaborate,\" Macy recalls. \"She had the concept in her head for some time, so we took a stab at it. It's really great fun and a bit cheeky. Her writing and talent is brilliant. It was the perfect song to come out with first.\" \u003ci\u003eRuby \u003c\/i\u003ecanvases a wide spectrum for the songstress.
