Does Macy Gray Have A New Album Coming Out? 'Fuller House' May Have Jumped The Gun

Fuller House really is throwing it back — and not just to the early '90s. Though the Netflix original series makes plenty of references to the 1990s, it is also incorporating some elements of the early 200s as well. And that starts with Macy Gray's surprise cameo in episode three. The singer, best known for her hit "I Try", makes an appearance during D.J, Stephanie, and Kimmy's girls night out at Euphoria dance club. Throughout the night, she serenades the crowd and even announces a new album. Which begs the question, does Macy Gray have a new album coming out?

Well, yes and no. In the episode, Gray announces that the song she performs is off her new album The Way (which, she notes, you can buy on iTunes or the trunk of her car.) But according to Billboard magazine, Gray released The Way in October 2014. This then this raises a whole new question: what year does Fuller House take place? Is it actually set in 2014, when The Way was originally released? Or does Macy Gray actually have a new album out in 2016, but she wants to keep it a secret? Or am I am overthinking things? Probably the latter, right?

As it turns out, Gray's album announcement on Fuller House wasn't a total lie. In January 2015, Gray created an page on Pledge Music, a "direct-to-fan platform that provides artists and labels with the tools needed to get fans to engage early," to gauge interest in an extended, deluxe version of The Way. On the page, Gray wrote:

Hey y’all!

According to her page, Gray reached 188 percent of her goal and the new-ish album is available for pre-order. And yes, it will feature "Hands," the song she sang on Fuller House.

And, if sales skyrocket, she may have the Tanner family to thank.
