Syreeta

In 2001, she said the album remained her “all-time favourite”:

It had a lot of different flavours and the musicianship was incredible. Since Stevie was sometimes late for the sessions, I got a chance to do a lot of my own vocals. When we were doing the record, we were having some problems in our relationship and for me, the album was about my hope that maybe we could salvage our marriage so a lot of the vocals are coming from that space. We got married at a very young age and no one gave us a manual.

Talking to Rolling Stone in 1973, Wonder said:

I love gettin’ into just as much weird shit as possible. I’ll tell you what’s happening. Syreeta’s album is better than my last two albums, man, shit! [laughs] No, but it’s cool …

For some reason it wasn’t accepted. I don’t know if it was lack of promotion … I told them I didn’t want to be associated so much with the album, the wife/husband thing, which I think was not an asset.
