About This Item
Ranked 23/500 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The sixteenth album by American musician Stevie Wonder, released August 3, 1973 on Motown Records; a landmark recording of his Inchclassic periodInch.The nine tracks of Innervisions encompass a wide range of themes and issues from drug abuse in InchToo High, Inch through social anger in InchLiving for the City, Inch to love in the ballads InchAll in Love is FairInch and InchGolden Lady.InchAs with many of Stevie Wonder's albums the lyrics, composition and production are almost entirely his own work, with the ARP synthesizer used prominently throughout the album. This instrument was a common motif among musicians of the time because of it's ability to construct a complete sound environment. Wonder was the first black artist to experiment with this technology on a mass scale, and Innervisions was hugely influential on the subsequent future of commercial black music. He also played all or virtually all instruments on six of the album's nine tracks, making most of Innervisions a representative one-man band. Album Tracks 1. Too High 2. Visions 3.
