Review
Man, every time I spin 'Signed, Sealed & Delivered,' I'm transported back to the summer of '70. The sounds of Stevie Wonder's soulful voice and that killer harmonica riff from the title track just fill the air, and suddenly I'm cruising down the highway with the windows down, feeling like I'm on top of the world. This album isn't just music - it's a time machine that takes me right back to those carefree days.
What really gets me about this record is how it shows Stevie coming into his own as an artist. He's not just singing anymore; he's producing, he's playing multiple instruments, he's crafting these incredible songs that blend R&B, soul, and even a touch of social commentary. It's like watching a musical genius evolve right before your ears. And those backing vocals from groups like The Andantes and The Originals? They add this whole new layer of richness to the tracks that just makes you want to sing along.
I remember when 'Heaven Help Us All' came on the radio for the first time. I was with my buddies, and we all just stopped and listened. It wasn't just another catchy tune; it felt like Stevie was speaking directly to us about the state of the world. And then there's his cover of The Beatles' 'We Can Work It Out' - talk about making a song your own! Stevie took that track and infused it with so much soul, it's like he wrote it himself. This album isn't just a collection of hit singles; it's a journey through the mind of an artist who was just beginning to show the world what he was truly capable of. - Caleb
