Stevie Wonder - Innervisions .jpg) .gif) By David Cantwell
One of Stevie Wonder's best albums, and the one where his more
fanciful, free-form moments gel perfectly with his knack for irresistible
pop singles, 1973's Innervisions swings between delicate and airy
ballads, Latin-influenced rhythms (the hit "Don't Worry 'Bout a
Thing"), and his own synth-heavy versions of gut-bucket soul (the
determined spiritual questing of "Higher Ground"). The striking
juxtaposition between "Vision," a barely breathed hope that a
world of peace might be upon us, and the great "Living for the
City," a funky, pulsing tale of racism, is powerful, haunting, and
still all too relevant.

"In my opinion, Stevie's best album ever by far, and in fact, THE greatest piece of music ever made. The music is unbelievable, and every song is an entity of its own, with meaningful meanings and deep spirituality, yet it is such a great concept album, and it flows from one song to another almost seamlessly. You haven't lived if you haven't heard this album." --Anonymous | "I think that this record is quite brilliant. I have never understood and will never understand why 'experts' regard "Songs In The Key..." as a better record. 'Songs' (and 'Talking Book' for that matter) are GREAT records. But what they lack is the clever balance of the experimentation and subtlety that are present on 'Innervisions.' I think that he achieved it through a willingness to try out pretty much anything musically (and the anger in some of the lyrics) and the 'tight' production values that were drilled into him at Mowtown.
Favorite song: 'Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing.' Shame Incognito elected to make a dogs dinner of it, a few years back." --Anonymous | "Innervisions is probably one of the greatest albums of all time. A stunning tour-de force by "The Genius",
Stevie Wonder." --Dr. Strangelove | "Stevie Wonder performed several fantastic albums throughout the Super70s, but I think this is his best single-album
effort. This album is worth a listen!" --Anonymous |
