Media quote:

“She gave it her absolute all. She really gets into the groove, selling her soul to the sound. At times, it felt like she was not performing to the audience but, rather, making marvellous music and allowing us to watch. It felt like we were being let into Macy’s mind – mad and magical – for a couple of hours. It was an honour.” – The Mancunion
