Stevie Wonder’s sprawling, misunderstood double album about the interconnections of ecology and the black experience.

The album is not for everyone, but it suited its purpose and allowed its maker an amount of creative wiggle room that few major-label artists experience.
this album beautifully shows off Stevie’s immense talent in a way no other album of his does.
one of my favorite projects from him easily, it can take me to such a serene mindset and I find myself humming melodies off of it at work all the time. a truly one of a kind experience, while having all the craft and perfection you’d come to expect from him.
so many beautiful compositions and wonder(heh)ful performances, a must listen for anyone imo.

Quite possibly Stevie’s greatest work. A frequently overlooked and underrated masterpiece that should not be forgotten.
