The best Stevie Wonder. One of my favourite albums.
In my opinion, Stevie Wonder's best songs are on other projects, namely Key of Life. As a whole, though, this album is the most consistent tracklisting of any project he made.
The melodies are intentional, the production is wild for 1973, the poignant subject matters are sadly still relevant, and it's clear that a musical genius poured love into every aspect of this project.

Hilarious, witty and creative album.
A lot of the production on this album is fantastic and unique, and where there are beats that don't quite connect with me the vibe is saved by OME's engaging bars delivered with a knowing swagger that authentically sells all his absurd and mundane observations.
It doesn't seem to have any lofty themes that run or build throughout the album, but the imagery in the lyrics is so unique and neatly presented that I find it impossible not to love this project. ... read more
This album is sweet and healing.
The production is so stripped back and intimate, you can hear every creak of the guitar and every detail of her strumming.
Some of the ideas here are a little underdeveloped and the album is on the short side, but the melodies that land are intentional, catchy, and set to Lomelda's lyrics in heart wrenching ways.
Fav tracks: Talk, Watering, Bust, M for Mush
Least Fav track: Tell
Kendrick's best album lyrically, in my opinion. What he's trying to do here is heal, and he did a fantastic job.
Some tracks have lush production, but others are lacking in their sound almost to the point of sounding cheesy to my ears.
I really liked the piano and strings all over this album, and the drums are mixed beautifully, but tracks like N95 have dated sounding synths, and the beat under Rich Spirit left a lot to be desired.
