A better title than Innervisions is hardly conceivable for an album by a blind musician. The music does full justice to it. For the first time in his career Wonder wrote all the songs himself, and also played (almost) all the instruments. All facets of the psyche of Stevie Wonder are covered on this flawless album, from personal reflections on love (All In Love Is Fair) to genuine social commitment
… (Living For The City). Yet it doesn't seem fragmentary at all, the anger of Living For The City naturally passes into the wonder of Golden Lady, and after the fun of Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing comes the logical hangover, with the sarcastic He's Misstra Know It All. Stevie Wonder ensures that all songs are provided with catchy melodies and are brought with an inspired performance. Some of the songs from this record later became just as famous in performances by others, such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers (Higher Ground) and Incognito (Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing). But the versions of Stevie himself are unbeatable. (MS)more
