Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life .jpg) .gif) By Rickey Wright
Songs in the Key of Life (1976) was the highest high point of
Stevie Wonder's career. More sprawling than Innervisions and Talking
Book, this two-LP-plus-EP was also less of a consistent stunner than
either of those masterworks. That Songs retains an enormous amount
of visionary relevance, though, is demonstrated not only in Coolio's
borrowing of "Pastime Paradise" as a template for
"Gangsta's Paradise," but in the cold-as-ice synthesized string
quartet of "Village Ghetto Land." This is Stevie, so naturally
that cut's anger is balanced by the ultra-buoyant "I Wish,"
"Sir Duke," and "Another Star." The 2000 reissue
boasts radically improved remastered sound.

"If someone said which 5 albums you could have if you were stranded on an island, this would have to be one of them. Utter masterpiece! Stevie Wonder is one artist who sometimes dont gets his props. He should be known as the musical genius that he is." --Talmo | "When I hear "Songs in the Key of Life" by Stevie Wonder, I am immediately transported back to the lazy days of 1976. The days were long and hot and music was a key element to our relaxation.
"Love's in need of Love today" is a masterpiece and Stevie at his very best.
If you've never heard this album then you are missing out bigtime." --ManUtdMrs |
