This dropped through my letterbox today and I'm listening to it now - some nice stuff, high quality playing and writing!
I shall write a fuller review when I've heard it a few times - just wondered who else has got this and to say that it's so nice to have a new Stevie Wonder album to appreciate!

That was the single, which was out several months ago over here - the website : http://www.steviewonderonline.co.uk/
..gives access to a remixed version of that !

I LOVE Stevie's stuff and its been so long since the last album however I'm a bit worried about how you've described it as "some nice stuff, high quality playing and writing! "..straight away alarm bells are ringing for me..I get a "It's technically good but kind of disappointing" vibe from that.
I'm getting a similar vibe about the mighty Kate Bushs' new album aerial as well.

I don't think the new SW album is disappointing - rather, I see it as a "return to form" - on first listen, there are a couple of ballads which verge on "drippy" - but it's a long album and there's lots of funky stuff!!
To be honest, I have been tied up at work and haven't had much chance to really listen yet - but I intend to put this right soon!

I saw him perform this song on Oprah and I wasn't impressed.

It is next on my list. I'll have it this weekend. |

| | | | Fans of Stevie may be interested in a new release to the iTunes music store. THE COMPLETE STEVIE WONDER. It's 582 songs from his entire career(including the new album), and it's only $190 on iTunes.
It's got like 100 rare and previous unreleased tracks, including a handful that you can't find anywhere else, and a bunch of remixes as well. All of his albums, and a multiple page digital art book with pictures. Also, it comes with 3 music videos.
I'm thinking about getting it. I already have like maybe 120 stevie songs, but that's nothing compared to 582.
