Following 1972's hugely successful "Talking Book" is a tall order and it is here that Stevie Wonder does the unexpected! Instead of recording another of strong pop song Stevie turned his attention to making an album of social refute! "Innervisions" lyrically deals with drugs, violence, prostitution and many of the elements of scoial discord all wrapped around some great songs.
This is really a concept album at its heart with a very urban subject matter !
Stevie covers a nice wide spectrum of moods from pure soul to funk to ballads to synth pop with some great vocals and instrumentation!
My favourite Wonder tune is the hugely harmonic and melodic "He's Misstra know-it-all".
Motown never sounded so groovy!
A work of art !
