Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

“we as a people are not interested in ‘baby, baby’ songs any more, there’s more to life than that,” Stevie Wonder said in 1972. With Innervisions, he offered a landmark fusion of social realism and spiritual idealism; he brings expressive color and irresistible funk to “Too High” (a cautionary anti-drug song), “Higher Ground,” and “Living for the City,” a cinematic depiction of exploitation and injustice.
