Free Music Notes for A Time To Love
Free Music Review: Underrated and Understated
Hit: 4 Stars
First off, I'll just say it: This is a great album.
Innervisions and Talking Book was 30 years ago, of course this album sounds different. Stevie was 55 at the time, and his maturity shows. That does not make this a bad album. Quite the opposite. The haunting "Moon Blue", the vocally-charged "If Your Love Cannot Be Moved" and the funky "So What The Fuss" are powerful tracks. Stevie also shines on "My Love Is On Fire", a track he initially wrote for Luther Vandross; you can hear the influence.
If you're looking for the rip-roaring funk of the 70's, then look elsewhere. If you're looking for well-crafted music made from one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time, with a taste of jazz, funk, R&B, pop, and everything in between, this is your album.
A Time To Love Poster
Stevie Wonder took more than ten years to give a studio successor to Conversation Peace but A Time to Love feels fresher than we had any right to expect after such a long wait. For starters, the guests are well picked: They include Bonnie Raitt (playing slide guitar on "Tell Your Heart I Love You"), gospel singer Kim Burrell (on "If Your Heart Cannot Be Moved"), India Arie (on the title track), and Wonder's own daughter, Aisha Morris (whom listeners may remember as the source of her dad's delight in Songs in the Key of Life--"Isn't She Lovely"). Last but not least, Prince plays elegant, minimal funky guitar and En Vogue perform swoony backup vocals on first single "So What the Fuss," a classic pared-down dance number graced with Wonder's trademark socially conscious lyrics. It's on tracks like these--sounding as if they could be from anytime between 1975 and now--that Wonder shows he's still got the golden touch. He remains a sterling melodicist ("Moon Blue" is a killer ballad), and the harmonica intro on "From the Bottom of My Heart" is among the loveliest he's created. Of course a Wonder album wouldn't be complete without saccharine ballads, and he delivers there too ("Passionate Raindrops," "Can't Imagine Love Without You"). Still, this is a solid effort from one of America's premier artists. --Elisabeth VincentelliJapanese pressing of A Time To Love, which is the 28th studio album from the legendary singer/songwriter, includes the single 'So What The Fuss' and features guest appearances from Kim Burrell, Aisha Morris, India Arie, Prince & En Vogue.
