Summary: Underrated and Understated
Comment: First off, I'll just say it: This is a great album.
Innervisions and Talking Book was 30 years ago, of course this album sounds different. Stevie was 55 at the time, and his maturity shows. That does not make this a bad album. Quite the opposite. The haunting "Moon Blue", the vocally-charged "If Your Love Cannot Be Moved" and the funky "So What The Fuss" are powerful tracks. Stevie also shines on "My Love Is On Fire", a track he initially wrote for Luther Vandross; you can hear the influence.
If you're looking for the rip-roaring funk of the 70's, then look elsewhere. If you're looking for well-crafted music made from one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time, with a taste of jazz, funk, R&B, pop, and everything in between, this is your album.

Summary: Mosaic of background harmonies
Comment: I really liked the mosaic of background harmonies in the song "My love is on fire". On my first listening of this cd , that is what caught my ear. I like the way the vocals are arranged and there is a specific chord that the singers hit that is great . Just when I thought that there wasn't any more room for background vocals, some "ya ya ya"'s appear periodically. That's what I liked the most! I'm a singer/songriter and I produce my own recordings so I find this kind of production work exciting. Thanks Stevie Wonder and company.

Summary: A Time to Love
Comment: It took Wonder 10 years to release this album. Most bands live and die in that time period. And he was working pretty hard on this one, too. "If Your Love Cannot Be Moved" favorably recalls "Pastime Paradise"; "Sweetest Somebody I Know" is one of his typically brilliant love songs; "Moon Blue" is a dead-on slow jam, as is "My Love is on Fire"; "Please Don't Hurt My Baby" is funky as hell, even if I don't like the last minute of it; "Tell Your Heart I Love You" is fun and nothing else. But I'm gonna be a big jerk here and dish out some criticism. Most notably, there's too much music here. 1:17:48 is barely regulation CD length, and several cuts should've been, um... cut. "From the Bottom of My Heart" is annoyingly perky; "How Will I Know" features his only modestly talented daughter; "True Love" is sappy; "Shelter in the Rain" is overdone. But "So What the Fuss" makes up for all that; funky, with a fun Prince guest spot. "Positivity" is great too. Especially the overdubbed vocals. First-rate album.

Summary: STEVIE WONDER IS THE MUSICAL GENIUS!
Comment: I HAVE LOVED STEVIE WONDER EVER SINCE I HEARD "SIR DUKE" AND "RIBBON IN THE SKY" AND "OVERJOYED" ON THE RADIO. I NOW HAVE ALMOST ALL OF HIS ALBUMS AND I STILL LISTEN TO THEM OFTEN. YOU WILL NEVER GET BORED LISTENING TO HIM. HE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE HIS MUSIC INTERESTING. HIS VOICE HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS AND I THINK HE WAITED TOO LONG TO MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM. THIS ALBUM DOES HAVE SOME GOOD MUSIC ON IT. I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST GETTING "SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE" THAT WAS A VERY FAMOUS ALBUM. ALSO TRY A LOT OF HIS OTHER ALBUMS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. HE USUALLY HAS SO MANY HITS ON EACH ALBUM. IT HAS SO MUCH QUALITY. ITS ACTUALLY HARD TO FIND A SONG THAT YOU DON'T LIKE. HE HAS A REALLY NICE VOICE TOO. I SEE HIM ONCE A YEAR AT THE HOUSE OF TOYS EVENT AND HE IS FANTASTIC. HE CAN PLAY THE KEYBOARDS, THE HARMONICA, THE DRUMS, WRITE SONGS, WRITE MUSIC, AND PERFORM IT. HE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME. HE IS THE GREATEST IN MY OPINION. HE PUTS ME IN A GREAT MOOD ALL THE TIME. HE HAS STOLEN MY HEART WITH HIS MUSIC AND SINGING. HIS VOICE IS SOOTHING AND HE CAN HIT SOME NICE HIGH NOTES. HE SOUNDS GOOD NO MATTER WHAT NOTES HE HITS THOUGH. HE KNOWS HOW TO CHANGE HIS VOICE AND MAKE IT SOUND DIFFERENT IF HE WANTS TO. HE IS A VERY GOOD PERFORMER.

Summary: Not Great Music
Comment: I am an avid Stevie Wonder fan, however this is NOT the Stevie Wonder of the '70s. I own Songs in the Key of Life, Innervisions, Talking Book, Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants, and Little Stevie Wonder on '45s. (missed "For Once In My Life").
His voice is still as great as ever, however the songs on this album range from fair to abysmal.
Save your money and don't buy this one. Stick to classic Stevie!
