From The Archives: Stevie Wonder – Songs in the Key of Life

The Album Breakdown

Released in 1976, it’s widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever. Blending soul, funk, jazz in an ambitious double album. Even to this day it feels cohesive, powerful and purposeful. The album captures a full experience of life, love, struggle, joy and spirituality. It also shows Wonder at this peak creatively! With fantastic production, personal song writing. This is a statement piece!

Highlight Tracks

This is one of the most iconic songs that was ever recorded in the history of man. I genuinely believe that! The harmonica opening line is instantly recognisable. It’s emotionally engaging and timeless. A classic!

Stevie Wonder – Isn’t She Lovely (All Rights Are Retained By Stevie Wonder)

Driven by a fantastic bassline, this track blends funk with sharp lyrics about growing up and society. It’s energetic, catchy and packed full of Stevie’s personality. His ability to balance groove with meaning is on full show.

    Yes, it’s a great album. A few paragraphs can’t do it justice. My favorite songs are As (preach it!), Pastime Paradise, and Saturn, which was on the 45 that came with the double album.

      Absolutely I could have included a few more songs but I had to keep it aligned with the other posts of this time 🙂

      I love this album though so hopefully that came across
