Synopsis
Amazon.com essential recordingOne 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. --David Cantwell

Kevin F. from BROOKLYN, NY Reviewed on 11/10/2013... amazing, iconic album. i didn't listen to this growing up, i only knew a few of the "hits". but as an adult, and having experienced all the incarnations of American music since the 70s, listening to this as a complete album was like discovering an exotic country i'd never been to, with new colors and tastes everywhere. it's a masterpiece of recording.. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
