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. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews

Runner Up For Stevie's Best Album....
From the first cut to the last.....pure essence! Reflects one of Mr. Wonders finest creative spands. Soul filled, emotinal, at times painting a saddened and gritty mural of the times. The music sifts an exalted glow of beauty & innovation that will leave you in a state of awe.

Quite Possibly My Favorite Album Of All Time By My Favorite Song Writer!
After purchasing Songs In The Key Of Life, and falling deeply in love with it, I decided to get Innervisions. I was shocked by how many songs I've heard off this before, and shocked at the fact that I didn't own this sooner. Better late than never. I found myself listening to this more and more. Even more than Songs In The Key Of Life. I later decided to get this on vinyl, and once I did, I found myself listening to it on a daily basis. If you have a good sound system, a clean phonograph player, and this album in good condition, you can't go wrong. It sounds alot warmer, smoother, and intimate on vinyl. What amazes me about this album is that Stevie wrote and sang the lyrics, orchastrated, and arranged all the music, and played drumms and keyes on every track. His eyesight is impaired, and yet he can craft music as brilliant as this. From start to finish the album stands tall, it doesn't slip even the slightest. There's people that'll complain that some of his songs can be too mellow. My response to that is; pay attention to the lyrics. If there's romantic lyrics he wrote for his wife; it's only right to have mellow, soothing music to go with them. I personally like the fact that he provides different tempo'd songs. There's a wider range of music, instead of the same song over and over.

Grandioso !!
Aquello que aún no sepais quien es este señor, que sólo pensais que ha cantado "I just called you to say I love you", y que paseaba en un coche para decirnos "Si bebes no conduzcas"... POR FAVOR !!! ESCUCHAD ESTE ALBUM, ESTA AUTÉNTICA MARAVILLA, ESTA OBRA MAESTRA, SUBLIME !!! ... y entonces sabreis de verdad quien es este señor STEVIE WONDER !!!
