The Hip in Hypnosis
For the throwback thursday Favourite #music #albums #4 #innervisions by #steviewonder with production by @robertmargouleff and #malcolmcecil Why I like this #musicalbum, its lyrical content on #spirituality, cultural influence and political messages. The context the #album was created in and why it was successful at the #grammys and how it was unusual for #motown To understand the synth sounds used on the #tonto research that privately. Stevie most complete album-he played most of the instruments on it too and not a weak song on it, Song in the key is his other great album but it lacks the concise punches this album had, a classic in every sense of the word and funky as hell! All songs are great but the key songs to me are Higher Ground-A funk/blues song stating of the chance to re-do his life again, very political with a amazing funk presence, one of the most funkiest songs ever-Chilies cover is good too, and Stevie’s live versions are good too Golden Lady-not the song most people associate with Stevie or people mention from this album much (I think it is one the greatest songs ever as it’s so simple yet a mutli layered arrangement) it influenced the acid jazz movement, straight forward lyrics, interesting arrangement around it (the bass line is phat!, Stevie was on a mad one)-just check it out! Living In The City-a story of a country boy trying to get work then becoming after jail time deluded by life-harsh reality with amazing production but hey someone had to talk about it -truth hurts , Too High-an inventive way of the dangers of drugs-two amazing things in this song “the drums and the harmonica solo in the middle-it sounds like a battle between the normal state of mind and the drugged up-very clever -again listen and listen again in amazement. All in love is fair-a ballad with amazing emotional depth, Barbara Streisand has probably one of the best Stevie covers ever, but the original is the best, the jazz timbre/classical styling and the piano playing is amazing, very complex compared to other tracks on the album.
