Covered is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Macy Gray, released on March 26, 2012 by 429 Records. As the title suggests, the album features covers of previously released tracks by well known rock, pop, rap, and indie artists. Because of the profanities in some covers, such as "Creep", "Teenagers" and the skit "Really", this is Gray's first album to officially bear a Parental Advisory warning, and a clean version was also issued.
